As with all Gmail folders, this is just a label added to your messages. It's not an additional copy of your message.

Gmail is flagging the messages it thinks is important to you based on who it's from, what it says and how you've handled similar messages in the past. I Googled this and there is a ton of information out there on how to remove this or change what Gmail considers is important.

Personally, I plan on looking into this at some time because I'm always looking for a more efficient way to handle my email, but I haven't done this yet, so for now, I just ignore the Important folder.

Hi all,

I meant to ask this for ages but haven't done so. I noticed quite early on when 
using Gmail with the phone that there was an important folder created. It seems 
to me that everything ends up in it, whether you delete items or not. In fact, 
yesterday I deleted a lot of messages and they have just come back again! Smiley

Now, please tell me, just what goes on here! Anyone got any good solutions, 
apart from forgetting that the folder exists and simply ignoring it!

I look forward to hearing from you if you have a solution. I don't think you 
can delete the folder, by the way, in case anyone comes up with that one. If 
you know it can be done, of course I will be glad to hear about it!
