What is the meaning of “Unarchive” in Gmail actually?

Before you know about Unarchive, you should first know What is Archive in Gmail?

Archive simply means historical records so, in Gmail when there are emails that got too old, and you don’t actually need them but you do not want to delete them either, so you just delist from the inbox. That is called archiving an email in Gmail. 

Let’s talk about Archiving and Unarchiving in more detail.

Archiving in Gmail means sending out emails from your inbox to “All Mail” label, and this is done to clean your inbox. Sometimes, when there are old emails that you don’t need but you want them to be there somewhere apart from the inbox, you can just open that email, and archive that. Then it will be moved to the “All Mail” label.

Unarchiving means just the opposite. You get those emails back to your Gmail Inbox from All Mail label.
