That is exactly the situation.  If you look at the config in my original
message, I have the folder "testfldr" on both accounts, but instead
of putting the message into the "testfldr" folder (really applying the
testfldr label) on gmail, it only puts them in "All Mail"

It seems I wasn't very clear.  All the message in "testfldr" on nerdbox
were synced to gmail - showing only in "All Mail" and not in "testfldr".
When I applied the "testfldr" label to them, a second copy of each
message was synced to the "testfldr" folder on nerdbox.


I need to try again with test accounts so that I can try other configuration
options without fear of clobbering my mail, but I haven't had a chance.
