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.

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.
