Yes; the procedure is as follows:

 1 In the Setup Config screen, find the feature named
   "enable-aggregate-command-set", and set it.
 2 [E]xit the config screen, and go to the folder that you want to
   empty out.
 3 Use the semicolon [;] key to select which messages you want to
   save to the new folder.
 4 You will be asked if you want to select by [N]umber, by [D]ate,
   or by various other options.  Choose what suits you.
 5 When you have the messages selected, use the [A]pply command to
   tell pine to [S]ave all of the messages at once.
 6 Choose a destination folder; you can type its name, or you can
   use [^T] to go to the folder list and select the folder with the
   arrow keys.

Pine will begin saving the messages.  If you have many hundreds of
messages it could take a while, so be patient.
