Thanks, Teresa, it's great that you're pointing that out for folks. Some of it isn't quite 100% accurate, however. From what I've read, for instance, All Mail doesn't get placed in your Archive folder exactly. In fact, Mail kind of gets rid of folders all together for gmail. Instead, just like gmail on the web, there is only one folder per se, and that is All Mail. Messages get given labels like inbox or whatever other personal labels you have, which act much like folders only different. Rather than me trying to explain, interested people are better off reading the following article: http://tidbits.com/article/14219

There are definite snafus with Gmail and Mail. basically, the “all mail” folder gets placed in the archive folder, and it’s necessary to have it enabled in Gmail settings on the website. Depending on how much you use Gmail, this may or may not be a show-stopper. If you switch to Pop mail, you can no longer use your labels from the Gmail site, and you’d have to set up local rules for filtering messages in apple Mail. Also, you can’t move Gmail folders in apple mail. Since I use Gmail for about 20 mailing lists I’m on, and I sync my mail with my iPod, I’m going to try not to ditch Gmail for now. Whatever you do, do *not* go into the “all mail” folder on your devices if you sync with them, because a huge bog-down will possibly ensue. For example, I have something like twenty thousand messages in my ‘all mail” folder. you can find stuff about this issue when you, uh, google it, so just thought I’d clarify things just a tad. I hope it’s clarified, at any rate. :) HtH, Teresa "The Golden Age of science fiction is twelve."--Pete Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
