Also note that recent versions allow defining an Archive folder. See
"Account Management > account type > Default Folders" in the Help.

I currently don't think that any code should be changed. How often do
you need to manually copy and move mail, and which underlying problem
is solved by this concept? Basically: If you have a "mail2018" folder,
why do you still 'need' to move mail into that folder 13 months later?
Asking as it would help understand the workflow better here.
