Hi Terri, I won’t go into IMAP vs POP3 because somebody else already explained it. Suffice it to say that in my opinion POP3 is not a protocol most people who have multiple devices would want to use any more. Sometimes email services like gmail are trying to be too helpful by doing things for you and they may not be what you want. The answer to can you delete the All Mail in gmail is no as far as I know. I am not sure about the “Important” folder. I know this may not want you want to do, but I much prefer the approach of Outlook.com which uses Exchange Active Sync. I set up my account on the iPhone setting it as type Outlook.com, enter my user name and password and it’s done. I can check to tell it if I want to sync only mail or if I also want to include contacts and calendars. But like I said, switching from gmail to Outlook.com may not what you want since it would mean you have to let everybody know you have a new email address which can be tedious, I’m just stating my preference since years ago I evaluated both services. Also, if you use Office 2013 or Office 2016 on your laptop setting up an Outlook.com account is simple and Outlook.com uses folders instead of labels. Yes, I know, some will point out that labels are basically similar and in some ways allow for more flexibility, but I once gain prefer the folders approach and with rare exceptions the syncing between various computers and mobile devices works great and if you delete an email it’s deleted and gone and no longer to be found in some other folder.

Hi again everyone, OK, I honestly do not want to start a war on this list. That is not at all my intention. But I am a bit confused. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between I am a P, and pop three? Before I ever had an iPhone or really iPhone in general, I had my email sent to pop three on my computer. But since I got my iPhone, years ago, I have always had it set to high am a B. That was recommended to me by a few people. So I really did not think much about it. All I know is, when I delete messages off my phone, I don't want to go back to my laptop and see them again. That would really be annoying! Also, when I delete messages off my laptop, I do not want to come back to my iPhone and see them yet again. Again, this would be annoying! No, I would like to know, what is the all folder in Gmail? Why is it there? Can I get rid of it? Also, why is there an important Boulder? Most of the mail in there, seems to be mail that of been in my inbox at one time or another. This is ridiculous! Can I get rid of this folder as well? Any help would be very much appreciated. I don't like it when things computer me. Or annoy me! So I would love the help. Thank you!

I will not go into POP VS IMAP, and how people should do things, for 2 reasons: 1) It will depend on the way you use it. 2) It ends up as a war, usually.

Hi Terri, I hope others will chime in and give you more information since I am not a fan of gmail/IMAP and use Exchange/Exchange Active Sync which, for my personal basically means Outlook.com. Anyhow, if set up correctly as IMAP and if IMAP is enabled in your gmail settings online rather than POP your email is kept on Google's servers and any changes you make on any device that is properly set up will reflect on all devices. In other words, if you delete on your laptop you are deleting the message from the server and this change is synced to all other devices and the message will also be gone. Having said this, Google has this strange All Mail or whatever it is called mailbox where even though you delete stuff from your Inbox the mail is kept.. I am not sure if it is kept forever, but it is at least for a while.

Hi everyone, I would like to know something, if somebody could possibly help me? I have a laptop running Windows 7, and then I have an iPhone S. I have a Gmail account. I was wanting to know, if I delete email off my phone, will it still show up on my laptop? Also, if I delete my mail off my laptop, will it still show up on my phone? If this is accurate on both ends, can I fix this issue If so, how do I go about doing it? I have collected a huge amount of mail over the years, because I always thought it was being deleted from the server. Come to find out, when I started using IMAP, it wasn't. Now I have over 3000 messages, I am slowly trying to get rid of. I don't just want to delete it all at once, because I know that there are some important stuff in there that I would like to have. So if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list..
