[MlMt] Archive oddities

[Eric Sharakan]

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.

That should fix it.  As to how MM got in that state, hopefully Benny 
will have a clue.

Regards.

-Eric
