    Archiving messages generally will move messages to an Archive mailbox. But you give hardly no info. Who is your email provider? Did you check at the website for what it does for archiving messages? If there an archive folder in Mail, or at the webmail site where the messages are there also beside the Inbox (meaning did it create a copy to archive and also leave messages in the Inbox)?
