Right.  I use nnmail-split-fancy.  I do:

(defun ahobson-incoming-group ()
  (format-time-string "incoming.mail.%Y-%m"))

(setq nnmail-split-fancy
      '(&
	(: ahobson-incoming-group)
	(|
        ;; normal splitting
)))


All of my incoming mail is saved in a separate group by month.  I
don't expire those groups.  I then have a crossposted copy of the mail 
in my usual folders which I expire as usual.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you want to do.
