<p dir="auto">Ian, open the triangle on the main mailbox for your Runbox IMAP account. You should find all your mailboxes there, including the "Archive" mailbox that MM (for whatever reason) has decided is not the actual archive mailbox. Right click on that mailbox to open the contextual menu, then under "Mailbox Type", select Archive.</p>
<p dir="auto">That should fix it. As to how MM got in that state, hopefully Benny will have a clue.</p>
<p dir="auto">Regards.</p>

<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>

<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>
