But interestingly, they will eventually fill the Google server. I just received
a message that advised I’m consuming 70% of my allowable space. I think my next
recourse is to start deleting those very old archives from the server itself.

Ah, fortunately the archive folder does not come to your Mac; it stays on
Google's servers. I don't know if
you can delete the messages in it, but that folder will not consume your
personal disk space.

So how can you access these archives and delete them? I get over 200
mail a day so you can see how much space this is taking up on my Mac.
Thanks emma

As far as I know, this is normal behavior for Google mail. The archives
just keep building up forever.

Hello, using gmail on mac, just lately, after reading my email message
and got out, my message is automatically saved to archive folder, any
idea how it happened, and how can I stop it please?
Thank you in advance to your help, is very much appreciated.
