I'm hoping a clean reinstall will fix the following problems. Google help has been, I'm, less than helpful.
1. Google says that using the Move menu item will tell Gmail to always send a sender's message to the specified mailbox. E.G. Always assign messages from The New York Times to the "factoids" label. In other words, using the Move command TEACHES Gmail that all messages from the New York Times to straight to Factoids. from now on without touching the Inbox. Move is like an Outlook Rule.
In contrast, if I use the Label command instead, I'm just moving that specific New York Times message into Factoids, but not establishing a rule that covers all New York Times messages.
At least that's what Gmail Help says.
I wish.
