I’m not entirely sure what you are asking.
Technically, I believe that if you delete a message from your inbox
(in Gmail) via IMAP, it means that the inbox label is removed from
the message, but it is still available in your archive.
In order to actually delete a message in Gmail via IMAP, you need to
move it to the Trash folder.
If you like this solution, you could try it. That is, use `d` to
delete a message, which removes it from the Inbox but keeps it in the
archive.
Myself I prefer to keep the semantics of dispose and use `d` to move a
message to the Trash, by setting:
(setq wl-dispose-folder-alist
'(("^.*imap.gmail.com.*$" . "%[Gmail]/Trash:me/clear@imap.gmail.com:993!")))
To ‘archive’ a message, I use `o` to refile to a label folder.
Generally I assign a label to all messages, so I never have to refile
to the awkward [Gmail]/All mail folder.
If you want to refile explicitly to the All mail folder, WL generally
remembers refile locations, so once you refile a few messages it will
give you the All mail folder by default.
You could also look at the definition of wl-refile-rule-alist, and the
Summary Mode/Auto Refile section of the manual. You could use this to
automatically refile all unflagged messages to All mail.
best, Erik
