Re: gmail imap question... what setting do i have to put it on

As I understand it, All Mail is a catch all for sent and received mail, whether you are using a handheld or not. As a result, deleting mail from the Google server is a two step process for most folk. Most folk will delete from their inbox or sent folder and it shows up in Trash and once Trash is emptied the mail is gore forever. That is how most email system work. However, Google in its infinite wisdom, created this 'safeguard' called All Mail where everything resides. Delete it from All Mail it is gone off the Google servers.

Therefore, regardless of any folders set up, the contents of those folder will show up in All Mail.

Am I making any sense at all? or is my beverage interfering with my communication
