How to stop auto-archive in Mail

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.

I do not have a rule created to move messages to Archive folder. I also did not create the Archive folder itself, though it is full of messages (new and old). I've seen other people asking about how to turn off Archive feature in Mail on other forums as well.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I spent hours on the phone with Apple support and they had no idea, and I've been struggling with missing mail for years. THANK YOU.
