 Of course doing it manually like Steve suggested isn't a bad way to do it.
 But if you're happy with one large folder for old messages you can
 automate it fully:

 . make the folder you want to move your messages in (duh) I suggest a
   subfolder of the sent mail.
 . make a sent mail filter applying to all mails and check the action to copy message 
to another
   folder and select the one you created.
 . in the sent mail folder properties check the options "max number of
   stored messages" and/or "keep messages in base fore days" and "remove
   old messages".

 This causes a slight amount of redundance, but IMHO it's even better this
 way, as you always have a fully searchable archive in one folder.
