This works too, except that new messages written to this top level

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.
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.
