I don't remember where I found out how to do this, but the following is
what I use:

require ["fileinto", "imap4flags", "date", "variables"];
if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; }
if currentdate :matches "year"  "*" { set "year"  "${1}"; }
fileinto :flags "\\seen" "${year}-${month}";

Deliver/lmtp is set to allow creation of folders.
