IMAP Gmail gems for Apple Mail & iPhone
TIPS 
Tags: iPhone, Apple, mail, gmail, gems, IMAP, help, how to
This is on ongoing list of some tips not yet included in the documentation:
| | Flagging messages in Apple Mail (CMD+SHIFT+L) is the same as adding a Star to a message in Gmail. Try it out for yourself. Flag a message in Mail and check your Gmail account online. The same message magically appears as ‘Starred’. |
| | In order to "label" messages multiple times from within Apple Mail or the iPhone, you must copy the message(s) to each respective ‘Folder’ which corresponds with your Gmail Label. I think it’s time to move back to the idea of Folders as opposed to Labels. |
| | If you wish to Archive mail from your iPhone, simply move the message to ‘[Gmail] All Mail’. |
| | when you ‘delete’ something from a folder other than trash, the message will effectively be archived, and not deleted. that means, the label corresponding to the folder you are deleting it from will be removed. if however you *move* it to Trash you will remove all labels assigned to it. bad for filter rules. |
| | if you’d like to use a custom “from” address when sending from iPhone (not your Gmail address) — just pop it in the Email Address field (not the authentication fields) and it will use that address instead of your Gmail. |
