How to partially empty trash in Mail

I want to keep deleted emails for 6-12 months but Mail only allows up to 1 month. So I have opted for "never" delete, but would like to remove the older emails to Trash. Again, no option to do this it seems, only remove them all. Is there a workaround?

Using OS X Mojave on a Mac mini.

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Since the trash bin really is not meant as a long term storage space why not simply create some folders named "keep?" and then go through those to move things you actually want to delete into the trash?
