Not sure if this helps, but I organize all my mail chronologically, like
this:
#the following sets the default folder to save
#mail to as in-2003-04 if the current month is 2003-04
save-hook .* +"in-`date '+%Y-%m'`"
#the following sets the default folder to save
#mail to as out-2003-04 if the current month is 2003-04
#i.e. it specifies a sent mail folder
set record="=out-`date '+%Y-%m'`"
The result, at least for me, is that the folder sizes stay in check.
Cheers,
