There's at least one utility expressly designed for this purpose --

ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/mail/reader/pmm/pofamu.zip

which, as you'll see, was updated last November.  I haven't used it
myself.

From the readme:

POFAMU allows a PMMail user to programmatically specify routine mail
message maintenance in an 'off-line' (batch) mode. Messages may be moved
between folders and accounts, zipped into folder-based archive files or
completely deleted. Folders are re-indexed as required.
A sample control file and .inf documentation are provided.
