If you are NOT talking about Pages – everything is done out of the box.
Clicking on a name of a category – it shows exactly that: category archives.
The rest doesn’t really make sense, sorry. Single post are just that: single posts and they have nothing in common with category archives.
I’m sorry if I didn’t explain this properly. Let’s say I have only two categories, CatA and CatB.
If I use the get archives function, it’ll list all the months that I have made blog posts. And let’s say I click on January 2008, it will show me all the posts in CatA and CatB that I made during that month.
I want to be able to show two lists of monthly archives, one for each of the categories. So the first list will display the months that I made posts in CatA, and clicking on one of those months will only show posts from CatB.
Likewise the second list will show months in which I made a post to CatB, and clicking on one of those months will display only those posts that I made in that month under CatB.
Is this any clearer?

Unfortunately there is no function to show category archives by months. There were several attempts to hack it – search the forum.
I found exactly what I was looking for here:

If you use it, also remember to go into the options area and turn off canonical URLs so that it works properly.
