Hi. I can't remember the name of it, but there's a google labs feature you can enable which allows you to have specific folders restricted from imap. You would use this to have it not show the all mail folder. When I first set up imap on gmail, I found an excellent article from tidbits on the best way to do it. You can read it here. http://db.tidbits.com/article/10253 Darcy On 2010-08-23, at 3:25 AM, Yuma Decaux wrote:
