I was not sure where to post this....
I have 3 email gmail accounts. iCloud I do not use.
I see an archives folder which seems to contain same emails in my accounts. I have never set my emails to archive! If I delete the archives folder will all my emails be deleted?
And smart folder….have never used that. What is it for?
Then there important folders one for each email.
Then I unhid on my mac only to find folder recovered messages.
And in some cases there is a starred folder.
My question is: does the archive, important, recovered messages and starred folders actually contain copies
of what is in each email address or is it just a link to the original location.
I see that I can hide all but the archives folder. And that is what I should probably do to lessen confusion.
just wanted to know if all my emails were being duplicated into various folders...which I highly doubt but am checking.
thanks
