Archive vs. Trash

ONLY FOLDERS in Gmail – All Mail & Trash Archiving messages is moving a message

into a filing cabinet instead of putting them in the trash. If someone replies to a message that has been

archived, it will reappear in your inbox. New emails are automatically in your

“ALL MAIL” folder but get labeled with INBOX.
