Thanks, that works! I expire with wl-expire-archive-date, so I have lots of files like
xxxx-200901.zip. Can I set up a folder somehow that will show them all? In the manual it looks
like this example should work:

$ml;zip/        -> Access group consists of archive folders
                   under `~/Mail/ml'

but if I try to add $imap4;zip/ I get

Folder $imap4;zip/ does not exist, create it? (y or n)  

Cheers,

Jim
