I'm using mbox files to keep my mails it.
Since I don't have a high mail volume (~500 MB per year) there's
nothing special I need to do, though I automatically save my mailinglists
into:
~/Mail/mailinglist_<YEAR>
And on New Year's I move that to ~/Mail/old and bzip2 it. When I need it
again, I just bunzip2 it and dig in.
Greetings,
Benjamin
