Even worse, there hasn't even been a bug report for that. My bad. Now there is: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545480> > "The new Archive feature (inspired by Gmail) automatically moves a > message to an archive folder when you hit "A" with a message open or > select Message | Archive. In SeaMonkey it's Shift+A. And there's a context menu item as well. > The archives folder layout sorts messages by year, with subfolders > for each month." That's the default. You can change the behavior using the mail.server.serverX.archive_granularity pref. >From the source: "This attribute and constants control the granularity of sub-folders of the Archives folder - either messages go in the single archive folder, or a yearly archive folder, or in a monthly archive folder with a yearly parent folder. If the server doesn't support folders that both contain messages and have sub-folders, we will ignore this setting." Single Archive Folder = 0 Per-Year Archive Folders = 1 Per-Month Archive Folders = 2 As I wrote above the default is 1. Note that AFAIK sub folders are not created automatically currently. You need to do that manually once for each year/month. Or maybe I'm wrong and only the subscribing doesn't work. Or not always. Anyway, once the correct folder hierarchy is visible in MailNews the Archive functionality works as expected. > Does this work with an IMAP server? Yes. > If so, presumably the Archive folder is on the IMAP server. By default it's the same server if it supports it, yes. You can set the Archive folder per server under Account Settings, Copies & Folders. I for example always set it to Local Folders for all accounts. YMMV. > What happens if you have an IMAP server that does not support > sub-folders? Then flat archiving is used automatically.
