I'm a new Thunderbird user with v115.7.0 on Windows 11, using a mailbox.org account.

Under Account Settings/Copies and Folders/Message Archives/Keep message archives in: I am using the Other setting to point to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive. Under Archive Options I am using Single Folder and "Keep existing folder structure of archived messages". The example in the options window shows an Archives folder with an Inbox subfolder. However, this doesn't happen.

Messages archived from my Inbox go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/ Messages archived from Inbox/Subfolder go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/Subfolder Messages archived from my Sent items go to Local Folders/mailbox.org Archive/Sent

So of the above, only Sent items go to the correct folder. For anything from the Inbox, the Inbox folder itself is not replicated as per the example on the options page. Can this be corrected?
