Yes, The simplest way would be to do a 'search messages' in the 
incoming mailbox setting the Date criterion as required e.g.
(tick) Date < Thu, 1st January 2015
click 'Search'
In the search results window:
Select all (black and white icon) then on any message
Selection - Move to - New folder -
enter folder name and tick "Designate as archive group"
click 'Create'. Job done.

Next time round you can just select the folder instead of 'New folder' 
etc.

To view archive groups click the tool "Show other groups" in the Main 
groups window.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
