Hasn't Mesema been around since the first book? I don't think it's very likely that Demandred has been masquerading as Mesema all that time. Espescially since they had just escaped from the Bore at the end of book one, right?
Masema appeared very briefly in EotW, was around a lot in TGH, flipped out just before Moiriane and Perrin left the Shienarans in TDR, and was next seen as The Prophet in FoH.
Anyway, while it's pretty clear that all of the Forsaken were free by
The Dragon Reborn, and that only Ishamael, Aginor, and Bethamel were free in
The Eye of the World, it's not clear if Lanfear was the only one added to the list in
The Great Hunt, or if everyone was, and the others just kept quiet.
Here's when they show up in the books, though...
Ishamael... aparently was free well before the main timeline of EotW
Aginor... EotW
Bethamel... EotW
Lanfear... TGH
Sammael... TDR
Rahvin... TDR
Be'lal... TDR
Asmodean... TSR
Moghedien... TSR
Graendal... FoH
Semirhage... LoC
Mesaana... LoC
Demandred... LoC
