Am i missing something or is it impossible to create a custom folder? I've tried K-9, Aqua and a couple of others and I can't seem to find one that allows a custom folder.
I finally found one! MailDroid...looks like it has some nice features, think I'll like it better than K-9! Using the free version right now-it has ads and the paid version is $17.99--think I'll suffer the ads for a little bit Give it a try if you're looking for the ability to create your own folders.
Just creat a gmail account and have your original email address forwarded to it. I even send from my gmail but it sends from my original email account. It works great.
1. Gmail uses Labels not Folders.
2. Gmail will allow you to sync other accounts within Gmail. So John.Doe@someotheremail.com can be retrieved into your Gmail Inbox. Worked for me.
3. Gmail allows you to "Label" the incoming mail from the other account specially so you can jump to that Label and read only email from that account. Just like Outlook filters allow.
4. Gmail will allow you to "Send as" so when replying people still will see your other email address in the "From" field. Gmail will even use the other accounts servers if you wish.
I just tried this and I love it. Now I can get my Gmail and other accounts in one place on my desktop and phone. Hope it works for you.
