I have about 5 Mail accounts in my Mail.app that I use. They are starting to get pretty full and I want to clean them out so I started looking into using Archive, but I'm not exactly sure what will happen.

If I archive all 5 mailboxes at once, does it create 5 separate archives or just 1 with all the mail from each mailbox? Does it simply copy the mail in there, or does it move all the mail out of the mailboxes and put it into the archive so the mailboxes are clean?

If I have to restore using my TM backups, will it bring the archive(s) right back into Mail like it does the accounts?

Is there a better organization method than to use archives?

Thanks
