Create an Inbox rule that moves emails to one specific, pre-existing

Does that make sense?
It almost makes sense. The problem I’m having is wrapping my head
around IMAP in general, I think. I have been almost exclusively using
POP for so many years now.
So is a ‘pre-existing IMAP mailbox’ one that is for a specific
email address?
I would say more accurately it's for a specific email account/provider.
Like you, I have a half dozen email addresses, with a separate IMAP
account for each one. So think of a ‘pre-existing IMAP mailbox’ as
a folder attached to one of these accounts. You can use a pre-existing
one, like 'Archive', which seems to be a common convention, or you can
create your own.
Is it in the Sources area?
Yes, they are in the Sources area. MM makes special provisions for some,
most notably "Archive", so they are also visible elsewhere in the
sidebar.
There are so MANY mailboxes here it’s very confusing. Of course I
have a half dozen email addresses in play, so it’s my own fault.
I know that pain!
