Yes, this works. Just subscribe to the folder, then right-click on the 
[Gmail]/All Mail folder and select "Mailbox Type > Archive". From that 
point on archiving a message in MailMate sends it to [Gmail]/All Mail.

In my use with 1.7 (3790), the [Gmail]/All Mail folder includes all 
messages, not just those without labels in Gmail. Not a problem since my 
labels are sparingly (and temporarily) used, so there should never be 
any significant duplication, but for now there are at least some 
messages duplicated between other labels/folders and [Gmail]/All Mail.
