Hi,

After having a few problems I have set up my email (IMAP) over all devices that syncs inbox, sent, junk, drafts and deleted mail.

I want to set up an archive folder locally on my mac via mail but I can't seem to get it to work. If I set up a local folder and then click on a mail to archive it instead of putting it into the local folder a folder is created on my mail server and the mail goes there. I want the archive on my mac as I only have 400Mb of email quota but like to archive important mails.

If I go into the 'Use this mailbox as' menu option it is greyed out for the local folder I created so I'm a bit stuck.

Any ideas what is going on or what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks
