Indeed, there is a local file named Archive! So that's where they've been going. So, I got it to work by prefixing everything with INBOX: macro index,pager y "<save-message>=INBOX.Archive<enter><enter>" "Archive" I admit I don't fully get what is going on here. I don't know what this magical "INBOX" is or how mutt knows that it means store it on the imap server. I don't know what a spoolfile is or what mailboxes is (mine is =INBOX). Oh, and I don't know why so much configuration is prefixed by =. But it works! And that's a start.
