Hi Raul, if you have Gmail set up as an IMAP account in the native mail app, then you can archive/label/mark as spam simply by moving messages into the appropriate folders such as Spam and Trash. If you go into the settings for your mail account you can change the default behaviour so that mail in the inbox is archived rather than deleted. Then for those messages that you actually want to trash, simply move them to the trash folder.
If you use an exchange account - which I don't recommend since there is less functionality - you can still delete messages, which moves them to All Mail. Grant On 7/10/12, Raul A.
