Some of my emails go to Archive folder automatically without chance of being read. Archive appears to be a local (on-my-mac) folder which removes the emails from IMAP. We are 3 people using one IMAP account (support email), moving emails to a local archive folder on my Mac prevents other two co-workers to have access to all emails received. How do I dissable Archive in Mail completely? Thanks.

Thank You !!!!! It worked.
Also, thank you for being civilized.... among the rudeness in this thread !
Hey, let's be civil toward each other. This website is here for us to help each other......yes ???
I figured it out! Go to your Gmail account> Settings> Labels and about the 7th selection down, turn off "Show in IMAP" all the way to the right of "All Mail". I only read the first page of discussions. So I apologize if this was already figured out. If not, then I hope this helps! It worked for me.
It worked for one of my gmails, but I went to my other one to fix it right after I wrote my last post, and it doesn't even have the option to "show in IMAP", because my IMAP is off on that account..yet it still shows up for this particular account! How confusing! At least it worked for one of my accounts. Hopefully it'll help somebody.
Melinda,
Amazing... Are you a consultant or do you have a contact I can use to consult you on, in the future? Mail was archiving every sent and draft gmail message; I use google mail for my business. The extraneous archive volume was driving me around in circles. Bless you and thank you.

Sorry William, but this is not so. I also have this same problem. I did not create the Archive Folder and I certainly do not move them to the folder, messages automatically go into this folder.
No, you didn't create it. Mail uses it if there is an "archive" folder on your email server. For Gmail, Mail maps it to the All Mail label. So, it was your email server which created the mailbox.
There does not appear to be an auto archive in Mail the messages must be selected manually then archived. Perhaps you have a rule set that is archiving the messages?

I missed that! I can't say what the 10.9.1 update includes I dont have it.
Are you using beta software (10.9.1) or not.
Forget that, lost track of who posted what.
