Prefix your labels with /, or make them a nested label of the label in the web interface, will make them available in Outlook again.Īny changes you make to the names and the structure of your folders via the Gmail web interface may not be visible in Outlook until you restart Outlook. Instead of prefixing your Labels, you can also create a Label called and configure My Label 1 as a nested Label of the Label. So a label called My Label 1 should be renamed to /My Label 1 via the Gmail web interface. Since you are now using as the mailbox root folder and Labels are created on a higher level, you won’t be able to see your Gmail Label folders in Outlook.Ī way around this is to prefix each of your Labels with /.
Setting a root path for your Gmail account will free you from the folder structure.
To break yourself out of this additional subfolder and have all these folders listed directly under your mailbox in Outlook, you can set a root folder for your Gmail IMAP account. When you are using a Gmail account over IMAP in Outlook, you’ll also automatically get an or folder containing all the “system folders” of Gmail itself.
