Okay, before I go looking all over creation (and actually learning how imap works, perish the thought), I want to check if this is normal. This is with a gmail account, no Sync customization (ie it should be All), but I've seen this for a few days now (since I've been paying attention, anyway): Selecting master [Gmail]/Trash... Selecting slave [Gmail]/Trash... Loading master... Loading slave... slave: 2596 messages, 0 recent master: 1233 messages, 0 recent Synchronizing... Selecting master [Gmail]/Spam... Selecting slave [Gmail]/Spam... Loading master... Loading slave... slave: 113 messages, 0 recent master: 15 messages, 0 recent Synchronizing... Selecting master [Gmail]/Sent Mail... Selecting slave [Gmail]/Sent Mail... Ie, messages in Trash and Spam are not getting synced. Is that normal?
