Archive location - won't archive to local folder

I'm trying to archive items for an account to local storage in a single folder and maintaining the existing folder structure for the account.

That's exactly how I've set the archive options but when I archive something it is placed in an Archive folder within the account (with sub folder structure) and replicated to the IMAP server.

This works fine on other accounts where I have set the same archive options - everything is archived to the correct subfolders in the local directories.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.


The following may or may not be related - If you look at the attached screenshots TB and the native Webmail interface are showing slightly different special folder structures. TB has Archive and Archives for this account and Junk and Spam, whereas the webmail has Archive and Junk - although also note that the content of Archive in webmail is the content of Archives in TB???

As an additional question, why, when archiving the content of inbox from any account, does this get placed in the root of the archive folder, rather than in a folder called inbox off the root. I'm sure this will have nothing to do with my issue, but having noticed it I can't see any option to control this behaviour.
