Eric,

Right click on that mailbox to open the contextual menu, then under 
"Mailbox Type", select Archive


Ah! That seems to have worked … Thanks!

Cheers

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.

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/* 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
