Reading the manual I am unclear on behaviour when Archiving emails from Apple Mail using the Import sidebar.
I understand that an email is only archived once due to its unique UUID. I think it is once per database and not once per mailbox (correct?).
I will illustrate with an example. If, say my mail account only consists of the following:
Inbox (mailbox)
- email 1
- email 2
Archive (mailbox)
- email 3
and I archive, I understand DT3 will preserve the mailbox structure in the target database as set out above.
If at the next time I archive, my email client shows the following (because in the interim period I have received one more email (email 4) and I have moved email 1 and email 2 to the Archive mailbox):
Inbox (mailbox)
- email 4
Archive (mailbox)
- email 1
- email 2
- email 3
what will happen in my email archive database in DT3?
No doubt in my mind, email 4 will be added to the Inbox mailbox.
Will email 1 and email 2 now appear in the Archive mailbox (but not in the Inbox mailbox because they can only appear once in a database)? Or will they still show in the Inbox as they were originally archived?
I am not clear on the behaviour and would appreciate clarification.
