Yes, if your client is Emacs Gnus you can use mail splitting,
see `nnmail-split-methods', after you set that up, and there
are helpers that use can use to test if the rule would take
the article (mail) to the correct group (without actually
moving it, so you can refine until perfect), when that is done
you can do a "respool", something like this
(defun gnus-summary-respool-all ()
(interactive)
(let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max))))
(goto-char (point-min))
(gnus-summary-respool-article lines
(gnus-find-method-for-group "nnml:mail.misc") )))
and all set :)
