TB 115.6.0

I have a POP account (not Local Mail) with thousands of archived e-mails already in yearly folders. At some point, I updated the "Archive Options" to use monthly folders (Keep existing folder structure of archived messages: UNchecked). Some newer archived e-mails have now been correctly archived to Archives/YYYY/YYYY-MM folders.

I'm now trying to get them all archived to monthly folders. I selected all the e-mails in Archives/YYYY and executed the Archive operation. Many were correctly moved into designated Archives/YYYY/YYYY-MM folders but many also remain in the Archives/YYYY folder still. "Archive" operation has no effect.

I have tried moving the e-mails from Archives/YYYY to a newly Archives/foo folder. When I run the Archive operation, they are all put back to Archives/YYYY whyyy 🤬 I've tried repairing all the folders and it doesn't help. Everything else seems ok, nothing appears corrupted... these e-mails seem to have some sort of hardcoding to put them back into Archives/YYYY instead of Archives/YYYY/YYYY-MM. It's not just Archives/YYYY either but Archives/YYYY-1 (2023 and 2022). I haven't checked any others, but I have Archives back to 2000 yeah boy 😅

In the mean time, instead of running the Archive operation, I'll just have to move them manually...
