Push for Gmail Labels/folders

[pdicola]

I've just installed Aquamail to use with my Gmail accounts.  I have several labels set up with filters created that send Emails directly to these labels while archiving them from the inbox.  When I receive a new filtered Email that goes directly to a label, the only way I can get them is to manually refresh that label.  I have push turned on and I have my labels set to sync as my incoming.  If inbox push Emails are working, why aren't the labeled Emails being pushed automatically the same way (without having to open the folder/label & refresh manually)?

I have the same question. and also how do you "archive" a message from the inbox? in gmail does it actually move it to the folder set up in the filter? or does it just delete it from the inbox.

I do not use labels, but have you set the folders/labels to sync with "IMAP Push" (not only sync) like the inbox?
You do so in the folder settings of the account!

1 - Yes, each Gmail label is represented by the IMAP server as a folder, and this is how they (labels) show in Aqua Mail.

2 - By default, only the default INBOX has push enabled. Long press the account, select Options and Folders  / Folder / scroll to the desired label/folder, tap it, choose to "Sync as incoming".... Finally, tap the settings icon to the right of the label/folder, and enable IMAP push.

A word of caution:

Gmail's server limits the number of simultaneous network connections to 10 per account. Each folder in push mode needs one. The device losing connectivity (i.e. an elevator, an underground parking structure) might lose existing connections and Google's server will take some time to notice and cross them out.

What I'm trying to say, 1 to 3 push folders is probably the reasonable max with Gmail.
