Hey Teresa, I assume limiting the messages to 1000 in gmail affects all the messages I have saved in specific folders?

Not sure what this all mail folder is and if it was in mac mail in Mountain Lion and I just never noticed it. On Jan 21, 2014, at 3:40 AM, Teresa Cochran <vegaspipistre...@gmail.com> wrote:
