Gmail - Viewing only the Inbox
« on: September 15, 2013, 12:30:42 pm »
I purchased AquaMail yesterday after finding the free version very good, but I'm struggling to get the configuration exactly as I'd like it.

I use Gmail and have lots of folders, and I want to be able to see their current content easily. I don't mind if I have to refresh them by swiping down (I have that option on) when viewing to update them or not, although it would be better if they sync'd without having to do that. I would like to be able to see the inbox without seeing all the folders too, as it is very messy. I have found the option for that, so just a click on the account name shows me the inbox and nothing else, the clicking on the far left arrow displays the other folders, and all the folders are set to sync. That's perfect. However, when a receive a new email, ALL the folders are then displayed rather than just the inbox. So that is what I would like to stop happening. I only get mail going to my inbox initially, so no new emails will go there unless I choose to move them there.

I have tried having the other folders set not to sync, which does remove them from that list, but then I cannot get to them at all (that I can work out anyway).

Is there a way around this please?

You can get to those other folders by:

1 - The folder list drop-down in the title bar, if you open the inbox (last item: "Other folders")

2 - Enabling "other folders" in the account list. This is per-account. Long press the account, then Options and Folders, then Account options, scroll down and enable "Show other folders".
