Yes, exactly. Since I run my own mail server with macOS Server, I keep
all of my messages on the server. I've got 15 or so top-level mailboxes
defined on the server, with several of those containing subordinate
mailboxes. Once I've read a message, I file it away into one of those
mailboxes. Since they are all on the server, I can get to messages on
any client, whether it be one of my Macs in the home office, a laptop
while I'm away, or my phone or tablet.
