Vista - Properly setting-up Gmail IMAP folders in WLM

11-16-2007

Is there a way to map the 'special folders' on the IMAP tab to
subdirectories? I would like to use the proper :

Sent Items Path: [Gmail]\Sent Mail
Drafts Path: [Gmail]\Drafts
etc.

however, I get an error that says the '\' and '/' characters are not
allowed. Using a space instead also does not work -- it just creates
new labels in Gmail instead ([Gmail] Sent Mail, etc.).

I realize you can set root to [Gmail] instead, but then all labels
created in Gmail will not be visible as they appear in the directory
above. And changing all your Gmail labels to begin with [Gmail]\ as
I've seen suggested to me is managing Gmail to work with WLM, not the
other way around. Defeats half the purpose of using IMAP if you then
chain it to work with one particular mail client.

WLM team any thoughts? Seems to work with iPhones, per the recommended
set-up instructions (http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862):

Highlight '[Gmail] Sent Mail' in the sidebar and select
'Mailbox' (menu bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Sent'.
Highlight '[Gmail] Drafts' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu
bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Drafts'
Highlight '[Gmail] Trash' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu
bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Trash'
Highlight '[Gmail] Spam' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu
bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Junk'

There was a discussion on this topic a few days ago. I attached the thread.

Thanks,
Long

Thanks Long -- saw those suggestions, but neither really works. #2
leaves you with an unsycronized mess if you access your account from
more than 1 location/client, and #1 has issues -- you have to rename
all you tags to begin with '[Gmail]\ ' which is not ideal, but more
importantly, when you delete a message in WLM, it moves it to the
trash in Gmail (but somehow leaves the 'Inbox' label on it), it is
supposed to just remove the 'inbox' label so that it still appears in
'All Mail' per Gmails notes. Also, if you happened to *copy* the same
message to another folder (so it has two labels in Gmail),
subsequently deleting it from either folder (inbox or otherwise) will
throw off an error in WLM.

Do exactly as he says in this video...

I did this and it works perfectly....

Nice video. The one mistake I caught is where he says one needs to have
a Windows Live ID in order to use Windows Live Mail. That is not correct,
since no Live ID is necessary to use POP/IMAP accounts.

Thats exactly how I have it set-up, but I have the problems I
mentioned above:
- delete a message in WLM, it moves it to the trash in Gmail (but
somehow leaves the 'Inbox' label on it); it is not visible in All Mail
either per what google says should happen
- *copy* a message to another folder (so it has two labels in Gmail),
subsequently deleting it from either folder (inbox or otherwise) will
throw off an error in WLM
- and an annoyance: all labels in gmails web interface must be updated
to begin with [gmail]\

There is a way to enter [Gmail]/Sent Mail etc. using a workaround.

In the IMAP settings tab, change the paths to
[Gmail]#Sent Mail
[Gmail]#Drafts
....etc.

Navigate to your Windows Live Mail Directory (Find it using Tools ->
Options -> Advanced -> Maintenance -> Store Folder
Go to the Gmail sub directory of that folder.
Edit an XML file in there called account{Lots of letters and
numbers}.oeaccount
Change the references to [Gmail]#Sent Mail and [Gmail]#Drafts to
[Gmail]/Sent Mail and [Gmail]/Drafts

Go into Gmail and remove any dodgy labels that have been set up, reset your
Imap folders, and you are sorted.

I have turmed off synchronisation on the [Gmail] node as synchronising it
causes an error (as mentioned in the posts above).

I tried setting up a Root Folder Path as detailed in the YouTube video,
however I found that it only brought through labels from Gmail as folders if
I prefixed the labels with [Gmail]/... in Gmail.

I have also turned off the Quick Views as Unread Mail shows a double count,
adding in the unread mail in each sub-folder.

Tyrenta n/a posts	Properly setting-up Gmail IMAP folders in WLM Is there a way to map the 'special folders' on the IMAP tab to subdirectories? I would like to use the proper : Sent Items Path: [Gmail]\Sent Mail Drafts Path: [Gmail]\Drafts etc. however, I get an error that says the '\' and '/' characters are not allowed. Using a space instead also does not work -- it just creates new labels in Gmail instead ([Gmail] Sent Mail, etc.). I realize you can set root to [Gmail] instead, but then all labels created in Gmail will not be visible as they appear in the directory above. And changing all your Gmail labels to begin with [Gmail]\ as I've seen suggested to me is managing Gmail to work with WLM, not the other way around. Defeats half the purpose of using IMAP if you then chain it to work with one particular mail client. WLM team any thoughts? Seems to work with iPhones, per the recommended set-up instructions (http://5thirtyone.com/archives/862): Highlight '[Gmail] Sent Mail' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Sent'. Highlight '[Gmail] Drafts' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Drafts' Highlight '[Gmail] Trash' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Trash' Highlight '[Gmail] Spam' in the sidebar and select 'Mailbox' (menu bar) > 'Use This Mailbox For' > 'Junk'

Also, if you happened to copy the same message to another folder (so it has two labels in Gmail), subsequently deleting it from either folder (inbox or otherwise) will throw off an error in WLM.

Gary VanderMolen n/a posts	Re: Properly setting-up Gmail IMAP folders in WLM Nice video. The one mistake I caught is where he says one needs to have a Windows Live ID in order to use Windows Live Mail.

PaulRWebster n/a posts	Re: Properly setting-up Gmail IMAP folders in WLM There is a way to enter [Gmail]/Sent Mail etc. using a workaround. In the IMAP settings tab, change the paths to [Gmail]#Sent Mail [Gmail]#Drafts ....etc. Navigate to your Windows Live Mail Directory (Find it using Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Maintenance -> Store Folder Go to the Gmail sub directory of that folder. Edit an XML file in there called account{Lots of letters and numbers}.oeaccount Change the references to [Gmail]#Sent Mail and [Gmail]#Drafts to [Gmail]/Sent Mail and [Gmail]/Drafts Go into Gmail and remove any dodgy labels that have been set up, reset your Imap folders, and you are sorted. I have turmed off synchronisation on the [Gmail] node as synchronising it causes an error (as mentioned in the posts above). I tried setting up a Root Folder Path as detailed in the YouTube video, however I found that it only brought through labels from Gmail as folders if I prefixed the labels with [Gmail]/... in Gmail. I have also turned off the Quick Views as Unread Mail shows a double count, adding in the unread mail in each sub-folder.
