"All Mail" sync with gmail?

[ScoHo]

Hi, I just found Zimbra Desktop and am currently evaluating it as a possible Thunderbird replacement. I have a "google for your domain" account, so I set up the email using the Gmail option and just put in my domain email. The account created folders for my tags (which is what I would expect), but there is no 'All Mail' folder which contains all of my email. Is it not an option to sync that folder? I tried manually creating the folder, and I also tried changing the relevant lines in the datasource.properties, but I still can't seem to get that folder to sync. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi, Gmail has a very peculiar implementation of IMAP. Gmail labels are projected as IMAP folders. "All Mail" is really a label of all emails. If we sync down things like "All Mail" or "Starred" we'd be duplicating a lot of data. A 10G mailbox online would become a 30G mailbox on your disk

BUt then where does it store these e-mail? I can see InBox and other labeled email but there is no mail that belong to "All Mail"

[jjzhuang]

that's because we deliberately avoided downloading "All Mail" to avoid duplicating everything on your local disk.

I wish to have a way to overwrite this because all of my "Archived" e-mail are now label as "All Mail" so my Zimba box will miss all of those mail because these e-mails does nothave any other label!

Thanks,

OK, file a bug please. Thanks!

Just so you know, I think Zimbra Desktop is a very cool product. Given that it is in Beta stage, I would give it my best to help making it better.

With that said, please help me with a URL where I can file a bug. I am a new comer to Zimbra.
Thanks,
