Are the Gmail labels inside another mailbox? In that case the Gmail

Is every label in gmail meant to go under the [Gmail] mailbox?
No, on the contrary. “[Gmail]” is probably best suited,
conceptually, for anything that could be defined as standard folders.
Technically, it doesn't really matter though (I think).
I have labels like project/XXX and project/YYY (ie, "project" is the
top level label in gmail (when working through their web interface))
and that's how I specify the "Gmail label" in my "Tags" preference
pane.
This seems to work correctly. When I tag emails locally via mailmate,
the gmail label is added correctly in the gmail web interface.
However I suffer from a similar problem mentioned below:
And another issue: when I'm away from the Mac, I will use a variety
of iOS
apps to triage mail. This includes filing to the _todo folder. When
I do
this it doesn't seem to add the _todo tag. Is this related to the
first
issue?
That sounds very likely.
But I see that when I am triaging email in the gmail web interface by
adding labels that are registered correctly (or so I thought) in
mailmate, mailmate won't update the message locally with the newly
applied tag.
It'll probably be a while before MailMate notices the change
automatically (especially in the Inbox), but I assume the problem is
more serious than that. If not even relaunching MailMate makes a
difference then there is a problem.
I just thought that that was the way of things, but now I'm curious:
should I expect the tag to update in MailMate locally? That'd be nice
:-)
Yes, and I just tried with a simple tag and it seems to work for me. I
wonder if it might be related to the “project/” prefix. I haven't
tried that.
We can debug the problem off-list if you like. I don't think (hope) that
users in general want to hear too much about [Gmail
quirks](https://twitter.com/mailmateapp/status/471582185074724865) :-)
