First, this hint applies to all IMAP accounts, not just that provided by Gmail.

Second, to have changes in your Inbox automatically reflected in the All Mail folder, choose Mail->Preferences->Accounts, select the Gmail IMAP account, and select the Advanced tab. There, check "Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes". That should do it, albeit with a performance hit.
