Sorry for the late response. I am not really sure how GMail works,  
because it is not fully documented. When I use balsa with Gmail, I  
press Ctrl-D to remove the message in inbox. It appears to remain in  
"All Mail" folder and I hope this means it is archived. It does not  
show up in "Trash" in this way. When I want to delete the message  
permanently, I drag it to "Trash" folder When I want to archive more  
important mail, I drag it to another folder.

I hope this helps,
