Title: I'm Not Seeing The Gmail "All Mail" Folder
Post by: appro on April 23, 2017, 11:46:34 pm

How do I make the Gmail "All Mail" folder visible in Aquamail? I archive a lot of messages in Gmail desktop version and I can't see these archived messages in Aquamail.

You will get this in the Account-specific settings:

-> long press on account name -> Options and folders -> Folders -> tap on "All mail" -> choose the option "Sync as archive"

Thanks for the reply but I've seen that solution elsewhere. The problem is that I'm not seeing the "All Mail" folder in the list of folders when I follow those instructions. Something is obviously wrong with my setup.

If I open the stock Android Gmail app, I can see the "All Mail" folder in it, so I'm not sure what's going on with my Aquamail setup.

You may want to check in Gmail settings (via web interface): https://mail.google.com/mail/#settings/labels that "All Mail" is check-marked for "Show in IMAP".
I don't remember what is the default value, it might be "off".

You are a guru. That was the issue. I've never unchecked "All Mail" in Gmail so I'm assuming unchecked is the default. If that's the case, then many before me must have had this issue in Aquamail. All fixed now. Thanks heaps.  ;D
