Alex,

I know you wanted to do it that way but, as you haven't, I'd start the new 
system right away.

I am not sure that I could find you a really easy way to do it otherwise. 
You could move the messages you want to keep into a temp folder, I suppose, 
but you could end up losing messages or getting confused, or just misreading 
the dates;  so I personally wouldn't go that route now.

You could sort by "Received" (found on the View Menu), and assuming you are 
in ascending order, you could then work out where you need to move messages 
into another folder.

Hope that might help a bit more.
