Archive Instead of Delete Gmail Messages on Your iPhone or iPod touch



If you stick with Mail's default settings, every email you delete from your iPhone or iPod touch goes to your trash. It makes sense, but if you're used to the Gmail life, you're probably thinking "Archive."

The Official Gmail Blog has published a nice video walkthrough for how to set up Mail to archive instead of delete email from your iPhone. The video itself doesn't explicitly talk about the whole Delete vs. Archive debacle, but if you set up your account following the method described, deleting a message on your iPhone will place it in your All Mail folder—which is what archiving does. We've discussed this change before, but the video offers a nice hold-your-hand approach to making your iPhone email behave more in line with what you'd expect from Gmail.
