I switched to using Gcc late last month and have found it convenient
to split it into per-month folders.  The setup I use is:

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      `(nnfolder "archive"
                 (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/Outgoing/")
                 (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/Outgoing/active")
                 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
                 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((format-time-string
         (if (message-news-p) "%Y/news-%m-%B" "%Y/mail-%m-%B")
         (current-time))))

I get two new groups automagically every month.

      8( 0): 1997/news-01-January               [3] (nnfolder:archive)
     45( 0): 1997/mail-01-January               [3] (nnfolder:archive)
     42( 0): 1996/mail-12-December              [3] (nnfolder:archive)
      3( 0): 1996/news-12-December              [3] (nnfolder:archive)

Gnus autocreates the directories every year, which is cool.  The month
is in there twice so that I don't need to add a -t to ls -l. :-)
