For those of you who have a Gmail account . [folders] [gmail]
Q: The only two options I see are the labels in Gmail, Outlook or the use and storage of locally folders.
Problem the first method is that you need to use with the Gmail website (Id rather stick Outlook This allows me to control for other addresses at the same time, too). Problem with using Outlook is that you need more to maintain. Pst file, and if you ever lose or lose, nothing organized servers.
Is Gmail has a better way to do that? I know Gmail does not support IMAP, but perhaps another method Im not thinking?
Best Answer: dude…don't be a jackass…besides I don't think anyone will help.

Re:Well, I really don't need my emails organized at all. I never "browse" emails like I browse files and documents. So searching is sufficient. With that established, I guess I don't really need to be saving a local copy of my emails at all. I can still use Outlook to download new messages and to compose messages, but I then I can just delete them when I'm done, and they'll still be archived on Gmail. For the few times I do need to pull something up, I can just go to the site and search for it.
So I guess that takes care of it, use Outlook to check multiple addresses and for my contacts and calendar, but don't keep any local emails.

OMG this is the greatest feature ever!! Thank you so much Mango, let me know where I can send you your thank you cookie! 
Yeah I wouldn't be able to use that anyway, my school address uses IMAP.
That sucks, I just consolidated four different e-mail addresses! :thumbsup:

Problem with the first method is you to have to use and stick with Gmail's website (I prefer Outlook, this allows me to check other addresses at the same time, as well). Problem with using Outlook is you need to maintain an ever increasing .pst file, and if you ever lose it or get rid of it, nothing is organized ON Gmail's servers.

Yeah I know Gmail can check other accounts, but I don't want to see it all forwarded to the same inbox, and I like Outlook's interface better anyway. I wish there was some way to be applying labels to my Gmail messages automatically as they're being archived, so that if I ever abandon my .pst file in the future my messages on the site will already be sorted in the same way, but I doubt this is possible.
