Auto-archive should work already. (Is that what you mean by 'a'?)

Set the variable vm-imap-save-to-server to t, which is acting as an unnecessary fence right now. (I will remove it in the next release.)

Use the full maildrop-spec names for the IMAP folders in your vm-auto-folder-alist.

Then it should work. Please try it out on a small sample first because I don't think I tested this functionality.

[Note however that there is no separate vm-auto-folder-alist for IMAP folders. So, the same alist should work for archiving both local folders and IMAP folders.]

Cheers,
Uday
