How do I stop mail being sent to Archive? Right now I have over 500 archived pieces of mail, none of which I have chosen to archive, many of which ARE NOT important!
I do not have any criteria for sending mail to Archive, and yet, mail is sent there all the time. I try to weed, but I still have over 500 emails in there, that I do not need archived. How do I stop it?!

Log into your Google email account via your browser and change your settings.
Settings, show all settings, Labels tab,
disable “show in IMAP” next to All Mail.
Well. I've gone to settings, there is a tab labeled filters and blocked addresses, and that is no help whatsoever!
Please - now what?!
Granted, I'm only using a minuscule amount of my storage, but it's just a bit annoying...
went to google's site, not iPhone, or Macbook.
However, I've realized that the "files" for Archive (and Important, which also has a mind of its own) probably don't include "copies" of mail that are labeled inbox or whatever, just that they're just different ways to get to a particular email. That being said, there's no need to get myself tied into knots because of filing! I'll just move the labels off to the end of the line, so they don't stare me in the face anymore!
ie, I'm choosing my battles, and this isn't one of then!
Thank you for answering, though. I appreciate your wanting to help.
Well, All Mail was already hidden. Going to Gmail via Google, I don't have either Archive or Important showing (I was able to hide Important). Can't move or hide them in the Mail icon on my MacBook.
I will just get over it. ;)
Check Google's site to see what they offer. And you are saying you went to Settings on Google's mail website, not on the iPhone?
Archive is Mail’s name for the All Mail label in Gmail.
Im not sure what “already hidden” means because you can hide labels in the Gmail interface, but that has nothing to do with what I suggested.
Thanks - but I'm no longer concerned about it. I've been having a hard time deciding which of my "battles" to chose, and took this one off the list.
