Outlook and GMail - Subfolder under Inbox or [GMail]

11,001

You can merge the [Gmail] node with the Inbox one by going to:

Outlook preferences > Accounts > Select your account > Advanced > under SERVER tab go to the voice "IMAP Root Folder" and put there: [Gmail]

    I am configuring an Outlook 2016 client to work with GMail via IMAP. As Google uses labels to categorise messages I am a little confused as to whether I should create my folders (in Outlook) under the Inbox node or under the [GMail] node.

    Can someone point me in the right direction please?
