Maybe I should expand on Sytze's concise explanation :-) GMail doesn't use folders like ordinary email clients. Instead you apply labels to emails. One email can more than one label, so it will appear in multiple places. It's pretty good when you get used to it. For example, my ProFox filter (see settings -> filters) is like this: Matches: list:"profox.leafe.com" Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "ProFox" Very occasionally a ProFox email ends up in my inbox, I'm not sure why (doesn't happen on other lists). One of the best things about GMail is the search facility (funny that, coming from Google!). I can search my 1000s of emails instantly, compared with Thunderbird which takes ages.
