Hi Brian! What exactly do you mean that you can not sec with your iPhone? I have gmail and am using iMap both on my mac and the iPhone. All my folders show up and the messages are filtered properly. I just used the "create a filter" link in basic gmail to create my filter rules. Unfortunately I have 50000 messages in my account but it is my goal to whittle that down to something manageable this year. Jim
