Move emails from between Shared Mailboxes based on date

Question
-
Hi all,
I am trying to move emails from one shared mailbox to another based on date.
I have run the below but of course the "Search-Mailbox" cmdlet only does 10000 at a time - also this appears to only copy, and not move the emails.
$SourceUserName="7fb044c9-11b6-4caf-8fa6-e36861eb738a";
$TargetUserName="dc5173ae-ff39-4902-89f6-b5d166f9ee48";
$TargetFolderName="Archive";
$Fromdate ="01/01/2017";
$Todate = "01/01/2018";
$date="Received:"+$Fromdate+".."+$Todate
Search-Mailbox $SourceUserName -SearchQuery "$date" -TargetMailbox "$TargetUserName" -TargetFolder "$TargetFolderName" -LogLevel Full
Can someone please assist? I've tried the New-MailboxSearch option as per below and all it does is create the search, but does not move or copy any emails.
New-MailboxSearch -Name "Sales AU Archive" -SourceMailboxes 7fb044c9-11b6-4caf-8fa6-e36861eb738a -TargetMailbox dc5173ae-ff39-4902-89f6-b5d166f9ee48 -EndDate "01/01/2018"
Thanks in advance

There is no "move" command.

Ok - so how do I 'move' the emails? copy then delete?
There are a lot more than 10000 emails I would like to 'move' - but I can't figure out how to have the new-mailboxsearch command do a copy, let alone a copy and delete....

The following will give you some background and pointers on moving mail items between mailboxes:

I've tried that - and again it uses the search-mailbox cmdlet which only allows a max of 10,000 results. I've got a few hundred thousand to move.
Need to use the new-mailboxsearch cmdlet - but I can't work out how to have this cmdlet copy (let alone copy/delete) between mailboxes.Friday, October 12, 2018 12:21 AM -
If you don't read the documentation carefully you will not understand.
Just copy/delete in a loop until the search returns no more items.
