The primary consideration is don't delete the current log :-)  Although
I'm fairly sure IMail would just recreate it I never actually tested this.

What I did is create a directory (I named it 'OldLogs') and created
sub-directories within that, one per month.  I enabled compression
(text log files compress nicely) on that structure to minimize the
space used.

Every week or two I move log files into the appropriate months
directory.  When I no longer want to conveniently browse ancient logs
I delete that months directory.
