Thanks Connie.
It's a bit of a minefield and I'm just going to leave well alone for the
moment, especially as Chris has mentioned that they're only the labels
in Important and not the messages themselves, so (I guess) not taking up
extra room etc.
I don't want this to become "off topic", because I raised it as I
thought it had direct use on the iPhone and not on other devices; but
since I've now learned this is not the case, I think I should cease any
further comments on the subject here. <Smiles>

Hello Christopher and Carol,
In gmail, there are options such as delete, mark read, flag archive delete
and more. I have not explored the more button yet. But when I click on
archive, all the archived messages go into the important folder. As
Christopher said other messages go in there as well. So, I'm going to have to
explore the more button and see if there is a way to just have archived
messages go in there. Hope this helps.
Connie ,

Subject: Re: The important file listed in Gmail!
As with all Gmail folders, this is just a label added to your messages.
It's not an additional copy of your message.
Gmail is flagging the messages it thinks is important to you based on who it's
from, what it says and how you've handled similar messages in the past. I
Googled this and there is a ton of information out there on how to remove this
or change what Gmail considers is important.
Personally, I plan on looking into this at some time because I'm always looking
for a more efficient way to handle my email, but I haven't done this yet, so
for now, I just ignore the Important folder.

Hi all,
I meant to ask this for ages but haven't done so. I noticed quite
early on when using Gmail with the phone that there was an important
folder created. It seems to me that everything ends up in it, whether
you delete items or not. In fact, yesterday I deleted a lot of
messages and they have just come back again! Smiley
Now, please tell me, just what goes on here! Anyone got any good solutions,
apart from forgetting that the folder exists and simply ignoring it!
I look forward to hearing from you if you have a solution. I don't think you
can delete the folder, by the way, in case anyone comes up with that one. If
you know it can be done, of course I will be glad to hear about it!
