I want to clean out my INBOX, but there are some messages I'd like to save in
a separate folder.
Is it possible to create a personal Archive folder and then move INBOX messages
into it? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

As most or at least many know--I'm a Mastodon with this computer Shite! I only sent him something to play with as when I did what I did it only 'semi' worked. I'm hoping that he can figure it out much better than I can.
IF I had been able to successfully do what I thought I could do--then I'd have posted Everything for Everybody.
I hope he's smarter than I am with these Technological Terrors than I am!

When you look on the left side in the private messages there's a link 'Edit Folders'.
You can create more folders and move messages there but they all count to the overall limit of 500, including those in your 'Sent' folder.
Myself - I periodically go over and remove the less important messages to free up space. For example if I go back and forth with someone a few times I usually quote the previous messages, so I delete the oldest ones and keep the newest which contains all the previous ones within it anyways. This way I essentially remove stuff that is duplicate.
If that doesn't work there is also the other option to select some messages and download them as a file/archive on your computer. You select them with the checkboxes and on the bottom there is a menu 'Selected Messages' that has options to download them as CSV, TXT, or XML file.
I can also increase the total limit a bit, but as long as it's something sensible it'll be the same issue when one reaches it.
Thank you, Gugi.
OK. So, the only way to "reduce the count" is to either move them off-site
or delete them altogether.
Fair enough.
No worries. I also increased the limit from 500 to 700.
