Hello Again, Craig: We've come a long way since Mobile Speak, eh? (Smile)
Keep in mind that gMail uses Labels instead of Folders. Effectively, they are the same. So what you want to do is create Labels. On any email client they will be displayed/called Folders. OK, in short order: 1. Log-in to your gMail account. 2. >From the Options menu, select Mail Settings. 3. Select the Labels Tab. Here you will see a list of Labels/Folders already created for you including Inbox. Yes, Inbox is a Label. Now find the Create Button and make a new label. Craig, for each label, you can choose to show or hide it in iMap. So, if you want to see any Labels/Folders in a remote email client, such as Apple Mail, you will need to make sure it is not hidden. Take your time in exploring this interface and it will begin to make sense.
