Ok, I've used kmail to make new folders named 2001, yadda yadda. Then used kmail to move, sorted by date, each year into its subdir.
And I've adjusted that particular filter to put new messages in emc/2019, which I'll obviously have to fix next new years.
Thats working well and kmail has regained much of its former snappiness.
Just one problem remains. How do I get rid of the old years in the lefthand folder display, its now about 20 names taller than the screen.
Hi Gene,
It's probably more convenient to have new messages come into the top-level emc folder rather than emc/2019. That way you don't have to change the filter each year. And you can click on the [-] to hide the subfolders.

This works too, except that new messages written to this top level directory are always unread. Even though there are only 6 or 7 messages in cur, that directory is 2641920 bytes long. ISTR that ext4 has a truncate in place utility, but cannot now recall its name.
Is this a useable clue? What I've just now done using mc, is to move those messages to tmp, delete cur, then make a new cur, and move the messages back to cur. And I will now restart kmail.
