I changed one of my gmail (Apps for Your Domain) accounts from the standard iOS gmail setup to an Exchange service. I did this primarily for push calendar syncing, but I noticed that following the change the iOS Mail app appeared different in subtle ways. In particular, the Archive icon was gone from my iPhone toolbar, replaced with a Trash icon. So, does the Trash icon Delete or Archive?
After digging for far too long, I excavated the table below from the depths of the Google support site. (Spoiler: It Archives.)
Action on mobile device/client (e.g. iPhone/Outlook) | Result in Gmail on the web |

Open a message | Mark a message as read |
Move message to Starred | Apply a star to the message |
Move a message to a folder | Apply a label to the message |
Move a message to Spam | Report a message as spam |
Move a message to Trash | Message will be archived. |
Send a message | Store message in Sent Mail |
Delete a message in inbox | Move that message to Archive |
Delete a message from a folder | Remove that label from the message |
Delete a message from [All Mail] | Move the message to Trash |
