<p dir="auto">My IMAP account (on Runbox) has, as usual, an <em>Archive</em> folder. I also have had an <em>Archives</em> (with an S) folder containing yearly archive folders thus:</p>
<pre style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px; margin-left:15px; margin-right:15px; max-width:90vw; overflow-x:auto; padding:5px" bgcolor="#F7F7F7"><code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">├── Archive
└── Archives
├── 2016
├── 2017
└── 2015
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">So the current year’s mail gets archived in the <em>Archive</em> folder and then gets moved (manually) to the <em>Archives/<Year></em> when a new year comes around. I have used this system for years with other clients without problems. I think it dates back to when I used Thunderbird some years ago.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, since using Mailmate I notice my current year’s (2018) archives are not going into the <em>Archive</em> folder as they should but getting put into seemingly random folders under <em>Archives</em>. I’ve found recent 2018 messages in 2017, 2016, 2012 etc. as well as the in the root <em>Archives</em> folder … Hmm!</p>
<p dir="auto">This caused me some consternation, so I have tidied things up using the Runbox web interface - I have renamed <em>Archives</em> to <em>Years</em> and moved all the wrongly archived messages to their rightful yearly folders. All is well so I thought.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, when now I archive a message in Mailmate it <em>recreates</em> the <em>Archives/2012</em> folder and puts the message in there! </p>
<p dir="auto">So how do I convince MM that <em>Archives</em> doesn’t exist any more, and is now called <em>Years</em> , and that it should just put archived messages in <em>Archive</em>?</p>
<p dir="auto">What to do?</p>
<p dir="auto">Cheers<br>
Ian</p>
