That is been done on the advice I got here. 
Since November I am trying to get resolved, that I need my Archive and 
subfolders on different storage location as the default. Furthermore 
Archive folder is being used by apple mail, Archives folder eg. by 
Thunderbird. So it would be nice to 'group' this, so Thunderbird is not 
accidentally storing this on the default storage.

If the aliases plugin was working properly, I could have done this maybe 
via aliases

Where is a manual describing how to do this? Archive tree on different 
storage?

??? Archive/Archives/Archived Messages/Archived mail <- need to store 
messages in root folder also

Hi,
this setting might work. The default namespace "inbox" is managing
INBOX and defines Special-Use folders on the same hierarchic level as
INBOX. There is an extra namespace "4archives" which defines Archive
as
a mailbox on the same level as INBOX but stored on a different
location. Set mailbox attribute auto to your liking.

namespace inbox {	type = private	disabled = no	hid
den = no	list = yes	ignore_on_failure = no	inbox yes	location =	prefix =
subscriptions = yes
separator = /
	mailbox Drafts {
		special_use = \Drafts
		auto = subscribe
	}
	mailbox Junk {
		special_use = \Junk
		auto = subscribe
	}
	mailbox Spam {
		special_use = \Junk
		auto = no
	}
	mailbox spam {
		special_use = \Junk
		auto = no
	}
	mailbox Deleted {
		special_use = \Trash
		auto = subscribe
	}
	mailbox Trash {
		special_use = \Trash
		auto = no
	}
	mailbox Wastebasket {
		special_use = \Trash
		auto = no
	}
??	mailbox Sent {
		special_use = \Sent
		auto = subscribe
	}
	mailbox "Sent Messages" {
		special_use = \Sent
		auto = no
	}
	mailbox "Sent Mail" {
		special_use = \Sent
		auto = no
	}
	mailbox "Tasks" {
		# This mailbox has no official RFC 6154 or RFC 8457
Special-Use entry
		auto = subscribe
	}}
namespace 4archives {
	type = private
	disabled = no
	hidden = no
	list = yes
	ignore_on_failure = no
	inbox = no
	location = mbox:/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/:CONTROL=/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/control:INDEX=/home/mail-
archive/%u/Archive/index:LAYOUT=maildir++
	prefix =?
	subscriptions = yes
	separator = /
	mailbox Archive {
		auto = create
		autoexpunge = 0
		autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
		comment 		driver 		special_use = \Archive
	}
	mailbox Archives {
		auto = no
		autoexpunge = 0
		autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
		comment 		driver 		special_use = \Archive
	}
	mailbox "Archived??Messages" {
		auto = no
		autoexpunge = 0
		autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
		comment 		driver 		special_use = \Archive
	}
	mailbox "Archived??mail" {
		auto = no
		autoexpunge = 0
		autoexpunge_max_mails = 0
		comment 		driver 		special_use = \Archive
	}
}
