>From what I've read, for messages to be deleted from Gmail they have to be in the Trash folder, therefore, if you Archive them, they would not be deleted. They would be deleted from your computer though, unless you subscribe to the Archive or All Mail folders. I'm not sure about all clients, but I know in Thunderbird, you can configure which folders you want synced on your computer. They also shouldn't be on your phone unless you go into your All Mail or Archive folder and then you'd just see the newest 50 messages in that folder. Again, this assumes you're using IMAP.
