Thank-you for your answer. Well i do need that lab feature : the mail client "Sparrow" doesn't not show the different categories of Gmail inboxes. So to create the same, they have got to be labels. And the only way to have labels + automatic filtering, is using that lab feature...
If i used only the online Gmail application, i could do without, but using "Sparrow" is much, much better : simplicity of the interface, and only the minimum distraction. It's the best mail client i have encountered, and i wish i could go on using it, while using the Gmail automatic filters in order to get stuff out of the principal inbox. The categories shown on the left hand side, as you say, serve another function. Le dimanche 28 juillet 2013 07:50:48 UTC+2, justkenneth a écrit : > > Bobymac, > > Disable that lab.
