Re: [Evolution] Gnome Evolution Archive function

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

Please, could you always say which version of Evolution you are using -
things like this do change over time.  It would also be helpful in this
case that we knew what sort of account you are using.

Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences is where you set the default
archive folder for the "On This Computer" folders.  You can set the
folder to be anything you want (by clicking in the grey box and
selecting another folder).  

For other accounts you can set the archive folder by going Edit ->
Preferences -> Mail Accounts -> select account -> Edit -> Defaults

You can also set the archive folder on a per folder basis.

Make sure the archive folder is set up in all the correct places for
the type of account.
