Hi Ann.
I downloaded the Beta 2 and checked out the Archiving feature.

As I understand it; you are supposed to select one or several messages
that you want to Archive. At archiving an Archive folder is created in
the In tray of the current account and the selected content is passed
on to it.

My idea of an Archiving feature is a function that move the selected
messages to a folder, a remote IMAP or a Local folder. Each individual
account should have a choice to store the Archive Remotely or
Locally.

If you need to upload an archived message again you should just simply
select it, wherever it is stored, and have an upload choice which
moves it back where it was moved from in the first place. It the
original folder is not there it could just place it in the default
account In tray.

Well, just me ideas.
