I'm using mutt to access my Gmail account with a very similar workflow. 
If I remember correctly the necessary bits are these:

set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
set keep_flagged
set move=ask-yes

With this configuration mutt will ask (and default to "Yes" so I can 
just press Enter) to move all read e-mail from $spoolfile to the $mbox 
folder. If I want to keep something around I just flag it (Shift+F by 
default).

Hope this helps,
Andrei
