Archive emails on google mail
I've got my e-mails on GMail. When I use the GMail web page and archive a message, it's removed from the inbox and only visible in other folders. Or, more correctly: the label "inbox" is removed and only other labels remain. If there are none, the message can then only be found in the "All mail" "folder".
How can I configure Thunderbird, so that it works accordingly? I'd like to push a button ("archive", maybe?) and then it should be removed from the inbox. If it's not in the inbox folder (rather: doesn't have the inbox label), nothing should happen.

Thanks Airmail, but that doesn't cover it, as far as I can tell.
When Thunderbird archives a message, it'll remove it from the current folder and move it to an archive folder (possibly (more or less…) keeping the folder structure).
That's not how archiving in Gmail works.
In Gmail, "Archive an email" means, that ONLY the Inbox label is removed. Nothing else.
If a message does not have the Inbox label (because it only has other labels, or is only stored in other folders (which is wrong, because there are no folders on Gmail)), then nothing at all happens. The web interface will then not even have a button "archive email".
Gmail is not IMAP. Accept the limitation.
The archive folder is "All Mail" but the use of labels is uniquely a gmail thing and their bodged up IMAP does not implement that particular transition well.
