Archiving sent email
Hi, I have a question regarding archiving sent email. If I right click an email, or a bunch of them, in my inbox and select archive, they go into my archive folder as expected. But how do I archive sent email? And a folow up question: how does Thunderbird keep track of the conversation in the archive if I archive an email in my inbox that I replied to?
If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, constantin
PS: I setup my email account as IMAP.

I would have thought this was probably descriptive of the process. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
Thanks Matt. Everything in the support document works as intended. However, I was talking about sent emails, emails I have sent as reply or as initial emails. But I got confused by another error which is connected to this. It is not the sent emails that get misplaced, its the inbox emails that I archived. Which I'll try to explain now:
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, but they don't.
Any ideas on how I can correct this?

I think I'll abandon this question and open up another one with the correct/updated information. This is the new support question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1361760

Please do not ask duplicate question. It just makes a mess. So I will lock this one.
