BTW, if you want to set on this method from now on, I found this while
browsing the manual:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Expiring Mail") ]
|       (setq nnmail-expiry-target 'nnmail-fancy-expiry-target
|             nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
|             '((to-from "boss" "nnfolder:Work")
|               ("subject" "IMPORTANT" "nnfolder:IMPORTANT.%Y.%b")
|               ("from" ".*" "nnfolder:Archive-%Y")))
| 
|    With this setup, any mail that has `IMPORTANT' in its Subject header
| and was sent in the year `YYYY' and month `MMM', will get expired to
| the group `nnfolder:IMPORTANT.YYYY.MMM'.  If its From or To header
| contains the string `boss', it will get expired to `nnfolder:Work'.
`----

I never tried it, but fancy expiring may be worth investigating...
