I sync my email with offlineimap and I do something similar, but using
the `presync.sh` hook that offlineimap provides, via simple `xargs`:

	notmuch search --output=files --format=text0 \
	folder:mailbox/INBOX -tag:inbox | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty \
	mv -t ~/mail/mailbox/Archive/$YEAR/new/

So just before offlineimap starts another round of sync, the emails
tagged as 'not inbox' inside the INBOX folder are being moved to the
Archive/${YEAR} folder.

I've never used emacs, so I ignore if you can do something similar by
binding keys in emacs (but I guess you can).

Hope that helps,
