Fair enough. It was just a thought. 

I see no real option other than putting in the work to do it manually
now, but I'd suggest setting things up to archive automatically in
future.

Rather than moving the folders themselves to "Archive" it might be
less fiddly to select all messages in the folder and use "copy to
folder" or "move to folder" to put all the messages into a new
duplicate folder at the Archive location.

One way to achieve the automation is to use "folder-specific deletion 
settings" (Alternative deletion, move to specified folder, use 
alternative deletion for purging) in conjunction with "keep messages 
in base for X days" and "On exit...remove old messages". All of those 
are in "Folder Properties" (but not in the case of Inbox, Outbox, Sent 
Mail, and Trash folders).

I would suggest placing your archive folders in a password-protected
account. Then if the archive grows large, it doesn't slow down TB!
except when you open that account to view your archived messages.
