My IMAP account (on Runbox) has, as usual, an *Archive* folder. I also have had an *Archives* (with an S) folder containing yearly archive folders thus:

```
├── Archive
└── Archives
    ├── 2016
    ├── 2017
    └── 2015
```

So the current year’s mail gets archived in the *Archive* folder and then gets moved (manually) to the *Archives/<Year>* 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.

Anyway, since using Mailmate I notice my current year’s (2018) archives are not going into the *Archive* folder as they should but getting put into seemingly random folders under *Archives*. I’ve found recent 2018 messages in 2017, 2016, 2012 etc. as well as the in the root *Archives* folder … Hmm!

This caused me some consternation, so I have tidied things up using the Runbox web interface - I have renamed *Archives* to *Years* and moved all the wrongly archived messages to their rightful yearly folders. All is well so I thought.

However, when now I archive a message in Mailmate it *recreates* the *Archives/2012* folder and puts the message in there!

So how do I convince MM that *Archives* doesn’t exist any more, and is now called *Years* , and that it should just put archived messages in *Archive*?

What to do?

Cheers
Ian
