was much more acceptable. But there is one barrier to using evolution over
gmail web interface. Gmail sorts mail automatically into "categories",
distinct from the mail folders that you can manually create. I find these
categories just too useful, and they are not reflected into imap folders.
Without this sorting, my inbox is too cluttered with e.g., Promotions,
which I would normally not bother with when using gmail/web.
IIRC GMail "folders" are also its labels. Can you write a filter rule in
GMail which labels messages in a category with a label made for that
category? Then they should all land in a matching "folder" as well.
