    Setting Gmail IMAP

    I previously used Gmail as POP but I have just changed it to IMAP so that I
    can keep my PC (WLM), my iPhone and my webmail all in sync.

    Now I need some advice.

    1. In addition to my inbox,sent etc folders I also have a folder called All
    Mail that indeed contains all messages I have ever sent or received. It is
    therefore very big. How can I stop that folder showing up in WLM?

    2. When I delete items in WLM the are not going to the Bin (deleted folder)
    They just vanish. The deleted folder is a useful facility as at times I may
    accidently click to delete the wrong message. How can I fix this?

    3. In The accpunt properties the IMAP tab has an option to Store Special
    Folders on IMAP server. Do I need / want this?



    Sorry for the long post.

    Advice greatly appreciated.

    Use your browser to sign into your GMail account.

    Click on Settings

    Click on 'Labels'

    Edit the Labels - to show or hide the 'folders' in IMap

    Save your changes.

    Open WLMail, and reset the folder list for your GMail account
