It seems that this is what you want as no plugin can decide which
individual file needs to be archived.

This can be automated to whatever you are able. Just as you stated you
will move the individual mails to a designated folder, use the file
system to copy those to your archive area, empty the folder in Claws.

I think this should run just fine with Claws running. The initial move
to the archive staging folder can be accomplished by setting a specific
tag to the message and using a post-processing rule to move anything
with that tag. 

In all probability there are other ways to accomplish this. The move
from the staging folder to the archive folder can be automated as well.

And please let us know what solution you adopt.
