Using IMAP folders? Help please.....

[DougFNJ]

I was curious on utilizing the folders. I have my mane gmail account. I get various business emails that get sent to it. I like to keep my business and personal emails separate. So I created a business folder and label all of the business emails under that folder which is great.

What I am looking to do is have it work like an Outlook folder. I want access to those emails when I need them, but I don't want them to be shown at all times. Is there a way to have labeled items show when you need them to, but not show when you don't without deleting those emails?

Thanks for any help......

I'm not 100% sure this is what you mean, but if you go to your gmail app and hit menu --> labels, you'll see all you're folders. Now if you hit menu --> more --> settings you can select which folders are synced or, in this case, not synced. I believe that they will still show up if you search, but not in the folder itself. If you need to see the content of the folder for some reason you can just change the setting to sync.
