Should be doable with the Python plugin, depending on how exactly you
want it to work. Attached script "Archive1" moves the selected messages
in your archive folder according to the current date, "Archive2" moves
the messages according to the "Date" header of the respective message.

In any case, you have to modify the scripts to point to your target
archive root folder (variable target_folder_identifier).
