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.
