Please correct someone if I am wrong, but the all mail folder and for that matter all the folders stay on gmail not on the phone. Actually not folders but just titles but act like folders.

But then, I don't know. I have had very little experience with Gmail, before deciding to use it on my phone.

It uses flags. The all mail folder is the place where all your mail actually exists. Your best option is to leave all mail alone. Work in your folders.
