if she creates ~/mail/old/Sent mailmate will still see and have to

how are folk dealing with this?
Split them up into archival mailboxes by date and/or correspondents.
I guess by date might work. I used to keep them by project and some
other topics (e.g., kids' schools). But that was easier with Nostalgy,
which let me seed a completion list of email boxes as the place to save,
rather than the way rules just guess, and I don't have any way of
knowing where my archive rules have put emails. I mean, I know I can
look in the *intended* destination, but I don't have time to do that all
the time, and if the rule does *not* do what I expect, then I have to go
through a searching rigamarole.
That's ok -- I think the MailMate way is to use search instead of
folder-ing, but it takes some getting used to.
