Things would probably be simpler if you used prefix="" here.

location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

So you've mboxes..

namespace private { separator = / prefix = "mail-Archives/" location = maildir:~/mail-Archives:LAYOUT=fs

Are these really maildirs? Seems like exactly the opposite of what they're good at :) (Maildir is good for active mails, mbox for unchanging archives.)
