Archiving mail (OS X 10.9.5

A few questions about archiving mail:

1. I currently see an Archive Folder with 6 subfolders (five On My Mac and one Google All Mail). I did not create them.

- What's their purpose and why do I have 5 On My Mac folders?

- If I move mail from my Inbox to any of the 5 On My Mac folders, do I save storage space, search or sort time?

- are these 6 folders backed up by Time Machine?

2. The Google All Mail appears to store all mail coming in or going out through Google. Are these messages full copies or just pointers to the ones in my in or sent mail folders?

3. How can one archive mail (put them "away" so they do not slow down everything but make them available on demand) without loosing them or having format/compatibility issues?

4. Are there any stated maximum sizes for mail folders, max number of messages, max number of folders? My inbox has now about 15,000 messages? Do large mail folders "blow up"?

I am using mail to store all the important info I get and send, classified in folders for many years. In a prior Email system I had, I used to do some cleanup at the end of every year and then archive the leftover received and sent messages for that year somehow "outside" what was used by indexing, search, sort, unless I included the archived mail in these functions.  I am trying to do something similar in Apple Mail. What's possible?

Thanks in advance.
