I'm not quite sure what you have in mind here. Forgive me if I'm being thick.
At the moment I take messages in 2 month chunks from my inbox (for example) and copy them into a folder in another folder called archive. I leave several months worth of messages in the inbox, so I can refer back to old messages more easily. So I move 2 months worth of messages from the inbox to a new folder with a date on it, in a folder called (in this case) inbox in the archive folder. Then I delete and trash the messages I just transferred to my archive, and trash them. They vanish, but then reappear in the inbox. This behaviour is relatively recent. This procedure used to work just fine!
