E-mail folders mapping
Hello, I have just found that GMail is throwing some legitimate e-mails I receive to their Spam folder. Is there a way to map that folder to a local one in Seamonkey, using the POP3 protocol, so I can check that folder directly from Seamonkey´s e-mail client ? Thanks in advance, Rubens ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Not by means of POP3 -- POP3 really doesn't have any concept of folders. And GMail hides spam from POP3, and I don't know any way of disabling this. (Aside: the way GMail works does not really maps well to POP3 access -- you lose too much control, like in this problem you noticed) However, IMAP4 access works very well, and allows access to the Spam folder. There are instructions in GMail to set up Thunderbird with IMAP, and the procedure is very similar in Seamonkey. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

I was previously using IMAP, but I had to change because due to some bug all my message tags were lost every time Seamonkey connected to the IMAP server in order to retrieve new messages. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
