I’m looking for my archived messages

@user_s67lks 

I switched to a new phone and my archived messages that were in a file in my email  app labeled “archive” did not move to my new phone in the email in the app. The folder was not even there. I transferred the archived messages from my old phone into the inbox so that I could save them on my new phone and they cannot be found in either phone in any of the folders. I looked at my email through the website, checked all the folders and they are gone. Where can I find them??? 

There's your answer.  You transferred each message into your Inbox, where they are listed by date.  You'll have to hunt them down individually.  Had you left them in the folder, they would have been there - in the folder.
