The transfer of the the mailing list archives have resulted in broken links throughout the projects. Can this somehow be fixed on the server side? Can we possibily keep copies of all archives up till now in both places? If the links themselves have to be edited is this something that can be done by a bot? I don't think it is a good idea to leave these links as 404 errors.

It's an appallingly bad idea and needs fixing, yes. Rewrite rule on mail.wikipedia.org / mail.wikimedia.org ?

What are you talking about? There *is* one in place already, and has always been.
Example, maybe?
