Might be worth pointing out that all you really need to do to archive messages 
is to move them to a folder that is excluded from the sync. The easy thing is 
another mail tree beside the "local server mirror", but equally you might 
exclude your archive folder(s) from the sync. Then just not have the archive 
folders on the server.
