gMail importing

Does anyone have a solution for having WL grab the gmail 'Spam' mail; the WL
'Junk' folder for my gmail acct does not receive mail gmail sends to its
'Spam' folder. Anyone else have this issue? Is this a setting that is in
gmail? Thnx!!

Re: gMail importing

Hi,

I say, why would you want messages Gmail flags as spam to be delivered to
your WLM junk folder? :-) I mean I use WLM to send/receive my Gmail messages
using POP3 and am mucho glad that the Gmail spam folder contents aren't
downloaded.

WLM is not supposed to download those messages.

POP3 or IMAP server at GMail?

If you are using the POP3 server at GMail, WLMail will access
your GMail inbox only.

If you are using the IMAP server at GMail, WLMail have the
ability to access every folders for your GMail account.

However, you might need to configure your GMail account (via
GMail's webmail interface), to activate IMAP access to the 'Spam'
folder.

Configured the Gmail account as an IMAP account.
