Windows Live Mail Archiving Problem

I archive my emails into multiple nested folders. ie 10 category folders. each containing 10 sub-folders and so on.

In total there are some 460 folders. When I try to archive an email I have read, all 400 folders appear in the list. Consequently I have to scroll down the entire list till I find the one I want.

I would prefer to Just have the top level open. e.g. FAMILY, FRIENDS, BUSINESS, GAGS, HOBBIES, FINANCE, SUPPLY OFFERS, TRAVEL, etc.

Then for example when I select the category HOBBIES and open it, it can then show the sub folders e.g. WOODWORK, GLASS, BEADING, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, etc.

If a subfolder stays open, that's fine, but when I close it, I want it to stay closed until I reopen it. 

In this way I will only ever have about 40 folders to scroll through.

How do I stop Windows Live Mail displaying all the folder levels at once?
