You can move them manually, but what are they doing there anyway? ClamAV puts infected messages into quarantine in the mailq, and I use a cgi script to view and handle those.

You'll have to locate your mail directory, I would normally look in /var/spool/mqueue. You'll find two files for each email (probably). One with the actual email and one with details used by sendmail. mc is a good utility to use for this, as you can browse and view the files easily.
