The problem is it still wants to write to Archives. I get an error

now if I click on the button saying it can't find the INBOX.Archives

folder.

	Hi,

where exactly in Preferences you changed the archive folder setting,

please? The thing is that each account has set its own Archive folder,

it's in account's Properties (or Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts

->Edit), on the Defaults tab. The other setting is for accounts which

do not have this setting, like the On This Computer, which is in

Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->General tab->Archive Mail

section, at the very bottom of that tab. I'd verify that both do not

reference the deleted folder.

There is also third option, each folder can have set its own archive

folder, it's in folder's Properties->Archive tab. These properties are

in the context menu above the folder name in the folder tree on the

left of the Mail view.

	Hope it helps,

	Milan

That was it - I had it corrected in the second place but not the first. 

It's interesting that I didn't know about or ever change it in the first location (Edit->Preferences->Mail Accounts->Edit), 

only in the second. So Evolution took my general change and set it in the specific account where it was stuck when I 

modified the default location the second time. 

Thank you for your help.
