I have a script scan all my mailspools (I use mbox) and move anything
older than a week to archive/<year>/<mailbox>/<month>-<year>-<mailbox> -
this keeps my active mail easily to hand, and searching for older mail's
as easy as I need it to be.

This is pretty similar to your idea, only it uses mbox and saves to a
more structured format.

time I found out that M&Ms really DO melt in your hand.
