I already gave you a clue about how to do that in another email (even, twice). 1) select the emails to filter 2) Tools/Filter selected messages That will do it, provided that your filter rules don't expect messages to be unread or new (since they are from a former incorporation, they aren't new anymore, even if you can set them the unread status).
