You can use formail to split up the mbox, see `man formail`.
Then check the date in the postmark line (always the first line, the one
that starts with From<space>).
That date looks like this: Tue Oct 26 21:44:31 1999, so you should
convert to something like 1999-10-26T21:44:31 to make it string
comparable.
