Egads - why would you want to do that? Your email archives must very
hard to search through!

Heh, well, some people I know don't do anything. Their inbox is
several thousand messages. For me, my inbox is used as a list of
"things I need to take care of". Things like mailing list emails get
automatically delivered into alternate folders, where I keep only the
last 3 months of messages---anything older gets moved to a "deep
storage" archive folder. I use mutt to automatically maintain that
cutoff, via a folder-hook, like so:
folder-hook =Sent 'push "<tag-pattern>~r
>3m<enter><tag-prefix-cond><save-message>=Archive.Sent<enter><untag-pattern>~A<enter>"'
If I ever need to refer to something in deep storage, I can always go
find it (using mutt) and search for it (using mutt).
