Greetings, Bonnielass!
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like your emails are being archived randomly. Let's start by checking the Mailbox Behaviors preferences for your email accounts, to ensure that Archive is not selected as the Junk Mailbox or Trash Mailbox Check out this article to Change Mailbox Behaviors preferences in Mail on Mac
We'll also want to be sure the Archive is not selected under the option. to "Move discarded messages". Check out this article to Archive emails in Mail on Mac.
Finally, let's be sure there aren't any rules set up to move the emails to the Archive folder. Take a look at this article to Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac.
Let us know the results and have a terrific day!
