It is better to use separate `setq's. Easier to see
what is what. More control.

Why do you want to store the messages using
another backend?

And why do you want to do this manually by hitting
`B-m' each time? If you are fine with that, why are
you not fine with hitting M-DEL each time as well?

Better to automatize. For example, you can send a copy
of all messages sent to yourself, then split it to
archive folders based on header data.
