I use a folder hook to move all the mail older than a certain age to an archive mailbox. Something like the following folder-hook =inbox 'push "<collapse-all><tag-pattern>~(~r>3m)<enter><tag-prefix-cond><save-message>=archivos/inbox<enter><untag-pattern>~A<enter><end-cond><collapse-all>"' you might tweak the tag-pattern so it archives only the messages you want (e.g., don't archive anything flagged) Those archive mailboxes can also indexed by mairix, so you can still search stuff in them.
