Hi there,
Well, as the title suggests, I want Gmail's IMAP to "archive" mail, instead of moving (aka applying label [Gmail]\Trash) the mail to the trash folder. I've done quite a bit of Googling, and this article came up from Lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/314574/turn-thunderbird-into-the-ultimate-gmail-imap-client
However, that solved my problem, until I read the "update 2"... where a gmail engineer says it will delete the entire conversation after 30 days, instead of archiving...
Has anyone come up with a valid solution to this? - The only alternative that I can think of, is maybe once a month, go into gmail web ui, and select all the mail in [Gmail]\Trash label, then move it manually to archive.
