Fastmail IMAP setup

[John Lessnau]

Ok, I figured out what to do. When filtering message to labels, there is also a check box to also move to archive, this archives the message out of the inbox and moves the message to the label. Problem solved.

Now my next problem is that I really don't like the built in email app as compared to Snappermail. Snappermail seemed to have many more features. I'll give the built in app a bit of a chance before a make any changes though.

My labels are folders on both my Desktop and Mobile versions of Outlook using GMail. And I can DEFINITELY send and receive email with the account. It's nice.

My only gripe and I am looking for a solution....is that in receiving my email, it takes FOREVER to download on my phone. I do better to go to http://gmail.com and check it that way. Sending is fairly fast, though. I guess that is the price for free .

Everything is fine, I set up a few labels for some of the messages I don't want to see in my inbox when on my phone.

Some messages came in and the all were added to the labels I created but they also still are in my main inbox. So I have about 20 auto-emails from paypal in my inbox. I don't need to see those on my phone unless I want to see what came in or research something.

So I logged in with my phone and all messages I received (including the 20 or so paypal emails and other various auto emails I labeled) are showing up on the main gmail inbox plus in the labels. So I have about 3 emails out of 40 or 50 I need to look at but they all are in mixed in my gmail in box with all the emails I wanted to filter out to labels.

I get 100s of emails a day and I need to have them filtered to various labels so I don't have to search through my gmail inbox on my tiny 3 inch screen TP screen. It seems the label thing just tags an email for sorting but doesn't really move it anywhere. Either Gmail won't work for me, or I am doing something wrong. Maybe Snapper mail would filter the labeled messages out of the inbox?

Anyone out there get lots of emails that uses Gmail? How do you filter out the auto emails you don't need to look at right away out of your inbox so you just see the main emails from friends or human customers? I double checked all my filters and every email has the label I created and and the default inbox label. Is there a way to remove the default inbox label when filtering to a created label. Sorry, I have always been a very light gmail user. I need help from a power user.

If you go to http://gmail.com and to Settings, you can create rules or filters there. I would recommend you create rules to move those emails to your labels and then delete the email from the inbox. It's a two step rule. I have done this with some of my emails......
