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

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
