Archive actions were removed from archive dbs in 8.5.1...
Because there were many customer complaints that it was too easy for users to accidentally archive from their archive dbs. The decision was made that archive functions should be hidden from within archive dbs.
But you can still create/modify criteria sets through File - Application - Properties - Archive Settings (as you mentioned), and can run these through File - Application - Archive.
Alternatively, deleting the archive database profile will indeed cause Notes to treat the archive db as a mailfile, and the archive actions to be available again.
Likewise, if you happened to have any pre-8.5.1 mail templates lying around, you could replace design with one of those, and the archive db would again have the archive actions.
