Chosen solution

In google / gmail all emails are stored in the 'All Mail' folder.

Labels are applied so copies can be shown in specified folders like 'Inbox'. When you archive an email, those labels are removed, so the email is now only in the 'All Mail' folder.

So gmails's archive folder is the 'All Mail' folder. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6576?hl=en
