That's pretty simple to deal with.  Archive old mail, and just keep a
year's worth in your mail dir.

# Use folders which match on \\.gz$ or \\.bz2$ as [gb]zipped folders:
open-hook       \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t"
close-hook      \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f"
append-hook     \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"
open-hook       \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -cd %f > %t"
close-hook      \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t > %f"
append-hook     \\.bz2$ "bzip2 -c %t >> %f"

I have cron jobs that archive certain folders by the week, month, and
year.  mutt can read the archived stuff even when it's gzipped.
