When Gmail's default is archive, and Apple Mail does not recognize the initial archived flag, the messages become unread inbox messages. That's how it happened to me. So, I changed my Gmail default from archive to delete. I started with 130,000 messages, and I am down to 28,000 messages I clear out between 502,000 messages every few days.
