To remove those from your view in Outlook, the easiest way is to remove it from your Gmail settings. You need to open that arrow to view the folders, “All Mail”, “Important” and “Sent”. They are hiding under the subfolder “Gmail” under the Inbox. When setting up Gmail in Outlook, these 2 folders will also setup.
Either way, it’s usually just a duplicate of the inbox. The “Important” is still an unknown filter that Gmail sets up, I guess with what Gmail deems important. The “All Mail” is, literally, all of your email and the sent folders. Not only are they redundant, but these can also cause your Outlook to constantly synchronize and all it’s really doing is syncing duplicated data over and over…and a lot of it!īasically, those 2 folders are duplicates of what is in the inbox. One thing to learn about setting up your Gmail in Outlook using IMAP is that there are 2 folders that are not really needed when viewing in Outlook: the “All Mail” and “Important” folders.
