Another course would be to break the monster groups down by mnth or
whatever into several nnml groups.
Or you could setup a tempory split to split them into nnfolder groups
quite quickly. This *should* generate the groups named in the split.
Something like this should do it. Evaluate the temp split, then enter
the group and process mark every thing you want split out (From the
top of summary buffer do C-u 11,000 `#' or whatever number) Then press
`B r' (respool) and choose `nnfolder' as the backend to do the
respooling. Then step back and watch it fly...
(beware untested)
;;temp split
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("group-mnth1" "^Date:.*Jan.*1997")
("group-mnth2" "^Date:.*Feb.*1997")
("group-mnth3" "Date.*Mar.*1997")
("group-mnth4" "^Date:.*Apr.*1997")))
etc etc
