Move to archive as swipe function

[bhinkmann]

Hello all,
Defining 'move to archive' as an action when swiping left or right messages is possible in settings and there it looks OK, but when you are in the message list this action is not shown as an icon when you do the swipe.  Any other action is working well.
Any idea?
Best regards

To make this feature work it is necessary to define a specific folder as 'Archive-folder':

+ Long press on the account -> options and folders -> folders

+ Choose or create your archive folder:

For Gmail: use Gmail -> All Mail

For Fastmail, iCloud, maybe others: use pre-created Archive

For the rest: if there is no archive type folder, tap the “+” icon to create one

+ Tap the chosen folder, choose “Sync as Archive” or “Archive, don’t sync”

Aahhh... Yes, that's working. Actually I had an archive folder, but synced as plain and not as archive.

This helped, thanks a lot!
