strnge seems there went something wrong with the message I sent some hours ago

hmmm... do you really want to solve this with mutt? I suppose you're using
procmail for delivering your mail into different mailboxes, aren't you?
remember procmail can expand Shell expressions when interpreting its config.
so why don't use a foldername like
folder-`date %m-%Y`/
so every month's mail would be sorted into the month's folder.
Using mutt is also quite simple ...
simply tag the messages using a regular expression (and the "T" key ;-) :
~d >30d
would tag all messages in the current folder being older than 30 days.
then you could simply move all the tagged messages to a folder ...
ok... now it's up to you which way you like better ... the first one would be
mine...
