I tried to archive today. All was going well and then I noticed that the folders I had archived suddenly started to show new messages (pre 10/1/2017). So I archived them ... again. Suddenly again the folder showed new messages in the dates I'd just archived. As fast as I can archive them, the messages return. If I leave this alone I predict that all that I archived will be returned as unread messages.

I would guess that these are coming from the att.net archives but I've read all of those either in Thunderbird or the online reader.

The problem still exists. Does anyone support still Thunderbird?

I tried to add mail from the server. All went reasonably well at first. Then it started reading the messages that I had archived. It's still doing this. It's now added almost 500 messages that had already been archived.

You mentioned AT&T. So this is yahoo account?

POP or IMAP?

What's your motivation for doing this archiving? I use the archive function to keep my working folders down to a manageable size. Sometimes users say "archive" when they are really wanting a backup. Sometimes users use archive to release space on a server, not understanding that in an IMAP-connected account, it's all on the server and no space is actually released.

I don't (can't) use AT&T and I choose not to use yahoo, so I can't offer any insights based on personal experience. It may be that what you're seeing is an artefact of the way yahoo or AT&T run things. Depending on your reason for archiving, it may be that making an archive on your local disk would be more effective.

Yes, a yahoo account.

I used to archive my message simply to keep things tidy, I created a year ad then in Jan I'd archive the prior year Jan-June. Then in July I'd archive the rest.

This just plain doesn't work anymore since as soon as I get rid of the messages, yahoo downloads them. Today I simply tried to mark them as "Read". Suddenly they started back again. I now have 4 copies of each 2017 message,

HELP!
