I need to archive certain emails, but I also need to be able to retrieve them. I do not have access to the archive options in account settings to set up how I want to keep these messages. I also do not know where or how to retrieve, your forum is not searchable and I do not have time to view every forum post.

Look for the archive folder on the folder pane on the left of the Thunderbird window. Archiving simply moves them to a new folder, not off somewhere hard to get them back from.
