It's easy enough to read up on the Important and All folders in Gmail's
help or by just using Google search.
Gmail marks a message as important if it thinks you'll be interested in
the message. It does this based on things like whether this person is
from someone in your address book or whether you typically read similar
messages or not. It gets better at determining this over time. It can be
a quick way to get to the emails your most interested in in your in box.
The All folder is a list of messages that show up in any folder on your
Gmail account. This is good if you moved a message into a folder and
can't remember where it is or find it any more.
It's also important to note that Gmail uses labels to mark each message.
So the Important folder is just a list of the messages that have the
important label. Ditto for folders like trash, sent, draft and any
folders you've created yourself. Gmail is not making copies of your
messages and placing it in these different folders. There's just one
copy of your message in Gmail , and it has a list of labels associated
with it.

things, Not sure about it's purpose.

Subject: Re: Questions regarding email, and an iPhone and a laptop?
Hi again everyone,
OK, I honestly do not want to start a war on this list. That is not at all
my intention. But I am a bit confused.
Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between I am a P,
and pop three?
Before I ever had an iPhone or really iPhone in general, I had my email
sent to pop three on my computer. But since I got my iPhone, years ago, I
have always had it set to high am a B. That was recommended to me by a few
people. So I really did not think much about it. All I know is, when I
delete messages off my phone, I don't want to go back to my laptop and see
them again. That would really be annoying!
Also, when I delete messages off my laptop, I do not want to come back to
my iPhone and see them yet again. Again, this would be annoying!
No, I would like to know, what is the all folder in Gmail? Why is it there?
Can I get rid of it?
Also, why is there an important Boulder? Most of the mail in there, seems
to be mail that of been in my inbox at one time or another. This is
ridiculous! Can I get rid of this folder as well?
Any help would be very much appreciated. I don't like it when things
computer me. Or annoy me! So I would love the help.
Thank you!

Hi,
GMAIL will keep deleted things in trash for 30 days. I will not go into
POP VS IMAP, and how people should do things, for 2 reasons:
1) It will depend on the way you use it. 2) It ends up as a war, usually.

Subject: RE: Questions regarding email, and an iPhone and a laptop?
Hi Terri,
I hope others will chime in and give you more information since I am not a
fan of gmail/IMAP and use Exchange/Exchange Active Sync which, for my
personal basically means Outlook.com. Anyhow, if set up correctly as IMAP
and if IMAP is enabled in your gmail settings online rather than POP your
email is kept on Google's servers and any changes you make on any device
that is properly set up will reflect on all devices. In other words, if
you delete on your laptop you are deleting the message from the server and
this change is synced to all other devices and the message will also be
gone. Having said this, Google has this strange All Mail or whatever it is
called mailbox where even though you delete stuff from your Inbox the mail
is kept.. I am not sure if it is kept forever, but it is at least for a
while.
Good luck,
Sieghard

Subject: Questions regarding email, and an iPhone and a laptop?
Hi everyone,
I would like to know something, if somebody could possibly help me?
I have a laptop running Windows 7, and then I have an iPhone S. I have a
Gmail account. I was wanting to know, if I delete email off my phone, will
it still show up on my laptop?
Also, if I delete my mail off my laptop, will it still show up on my phone?
If this is accurate on both ends, can I fix this issue
If so, how do I go about doing it?
I have collected a huge amount of mail over the years, because I always
thought it was being deleted from the server. Come to find out, when I
started using IMAP, it wasn't. Now I have over 3000 messages, I am slowly
trying to get rid of. I don't just want to delete it all at once, because
I know that there are some important stuff in there that I would like to
have.
So if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Terri
