I have something similiar to what you want, though you'll have to hack
it up a bit to allow for gzipped dirs and such.

I have a "d" key macro:

macro  index     d      s=archive<enter>

this saves all mesasges to my archive folder instead of deleting
them. Then I have a shell script:

#!/bin/sh

set $(date)
date=$2-$3-$6
dir=archive-$date

cd /home/john/Mail
mv archive $dir
exit 0

which moves my archive to a dated folder. I set up a cron tab to run
the shell script every 15 day (I get a *lot* of mail). You could
easily make that directory gzipped.

Hope this helps.
