I found a way around: Instead of using Incoming filters, I use Read filters. This way, the message stays in the original account until I open it, and then it will be copied to the archive folder. Perfect! (Except that I do indeed have to manually move each single filter, but that is a one-time effort.) One drawback I still have to think about: All messages sent a being automatically BCC'ed to the sender address. This is advantageous, because I need only Incoming/Read filters and don't need to copy those as Outgoing filters. Another common filter marks all messages sent by myself automatically as Read, so I don't need to read my own messages again. However, this means that the Read filters are not triggered, and the messages are not copied to the archive folders. I'll advise when I come up with a solution for that.

True, but have you tried that with a message base as large as mine? Luckily, disk space is not an issue at the moment, and the current folders will hold only 30 days' worth of messages, so they won't be too large anyway.

The higher pressure under the filling will cause excruciating pain and in rare instances can cause the tooth to explode. An exploding tooth would be distracting.
