Archive as a filter action
In my opinion, it would be a great feature to have "Archive" as a filter action. That way I could create a filter that finds messages older than X days and "archive" them. This way we, the users, will not depend on other users writing and maintaining add-ons, which do this very simple action. I hope this is consider as a feature request.
Thank you.

You can use the built-in filter action Move Message to and for Choose Folder... select Local Folders/Archives.
Unless this is not the feature you want.
Yes, I am currently doing it that way. But this does not use Thunderbird's archive feature, which is great as it creates folders with the current month, etc...

Thanks Matt. That is exactly what I'm after. Should we close this post or leave it open for exchange of opinions?
Thanks
I will be rude and mark my reply as a solution, even though it is not. It gets it off my dashboard of unsolved and only then Bug fix will solve it properly.
It does not close the thread or prevent further comment however
There is an add-on that extends the filtering method to archive:
