A better Gmail IMAP to Mail.app sync
Authored by: hypert on Fri, Apr 18 2008 at 11:46AM PDT
I'm afraid I'm a little confused. A picture would be a worth a thousand words here.

What's wrong with everyone's Gmail/Mail IMAP? I followed the "use this mailbox for" hints that have been around for a while, and now I have an integrated Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, and Trash (OK, I don't check the Trash, but I think it's working like the others).

Down at the bottom of the Mail sidebar, I do have a GMail folder, but I leave it collapsed and just ignore it. All my Gmail mail is in my "regular" folders, so it's easy to ignore.

What is this hint trying to solve?

There is an issue with wrong new mail counts--especially because when you read a message in the inbox, it still appears unread in the All Mail box. So, you have two counts that Mail.app can't figure out.

I have setup IMAP on my iPhone for my Gmail account. Now I am also using my school account on my Gmail account. I have seen that when I reply to emails that are in my school_emails_label; the sender address defaults to my gmail a/c and not my school a/c.
Is there a turn around for this using the iPhone??
