I appreciate the input. I've been trying to recreate the same experience I have on my android phone, where all my emails come to one inbox, and when I reply it replies with the correct address, and when I read an email it is shown as read when I sign onto my home computer. It sounds like I have a few options: 1) Create a label called inbox, and tag incoming mail with that tag. problem: if I forward it then delete the original it will still show up. or if I delete it from my android phone it will still show up with a tag of inbox, even though it's in the delete folder, because all downloaded mail gets tagged with ibox. 2) create a filter that copies all email locally to an inbox. problem: changes made to that folder won't make their way back to the server and to my phone. 3) deal with two inboxes. 4) ?? 5) Profit.
