This is my understanding. Your iPhone's email client will just grab the
last 50 messages of whatever folder you're in, and not even the whole
message if it's a large message.

If I leave my all mail folder alone, over time, that could take up
quite a bit of space on my phone, especially if there are attachments

don't understand why I need to keep it. But then, I don't know. I
have had very little experience with Gmail, before deciding to use it
on my phone.

Google doesn't actually use folders. It uses flags. The all mail
folder is the place where all your mail actually exists. Your best
option is to leave all mail alone. Work in your folders.

Hi, yesterday I decided to delete all my sent mail. I had a
year’s worth and I did them one at a time. I’ll make sure to
delete them more regularly after this experience!
As I was looking at my folders I came across the all mail
folder. There were some very odd things like test messages and
texts I was trying to play around with when I first got my
phone. Exactly what goes into that folder? All the other
folders are self explanatory.
I went ahead and deleted everything from that folder, from
the drafts folder, and from the spam folder. When I went back to
look at all folders, nothing was left in any of them.
OOOOOOOOOOPS! However, no real harm was done since I don’t think
I had anything really important stored in any of my other folders
like my personal or my work folders that hasn’t been stored on my
work or personal computer. Just wondering what that folder is
and which emails in folders should or should not be deleted.
I hope this isn’t a really stupid question. I’m Always
willing to learn more.Thanks.
God bless!
