I have to translate this from german since setting Thunderbird to english for me changes only the language in the setttings dialogue itself and not everything else. If I select Account > Copies and Folder > Save Archive as > Folder "Archive" in: local folders it doesn't "stick". It defaults to some folder that is on my IMAP server, i.e. not a local folder It never saves emails I "archive" to a local folder on my harddrive... except for my "sent" emails. Sent email I find in:

Archive 

⎿ Local Folders
  ⎿ Year
    ⎿ Year-Month
      ⎿ Sent


I expected my inbound emails to show up in that file structure as well when I archive them, but they don't show up there. Any ideas on how I can correct this?

I'm using Thunderbird 91.4 on Mac OSX 10.13.6.

I am guessing you found the button in the middle for retain structure.
