I haven't checked everything in the manual but this is perhaps what
you are referring to
The first mailbox in the mailbox outline, “All Messages”,
contains all messages in your
IMAP account(s) except those in the designated mailboxes for deleted
messages or
messages marked as junk.
Yes, indeed, that was what I was referring to.
My interpretation of this is that All Messages contains all messages
in the IMAP account(s) except deleted and junk (as it says in the
manual). In other words, if you only have one account (as an example)
and have created N number of mailboxes for that mail account then All
Messages will contain the messages stored in those mailboxes also.
Inbox will only contain the messages stored in the designated incoming
mailbox.
That seems to be generally true. However, one of my accounts has an
Inbox with several submailboxes (subinboxes), where some incoming mails
are diverted by the rules on the server. The messages in those
submailboxes are not shown in All Messages and not in Inbox. I can see
them only when selecting the Source.
While investigating this, I noticed that
- I can designate any mailbox on the server as one of the standard types
except as inbox.
- Since Inbox is not in the list of mailbox types, I can’t see if a
given mailbox has no type or is Inbox.
