Gmail emails moved to iCloud not updating on other devices

I have multiple emails, including aol, iCloud and gmail. They all come in to my inbox. When I move a gmail email to my icloud folder, it is no longer updating on my other devices. I am in the middle of the biggest project of my life and I can't afford to miss an email or double handling my emails. This just happened in the last few weeks. So frustrating. Anyone have a suggestion?


iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10

Sign in with the same Apple ID & password say example1@icloud.com on your iPhone & Mac and connect both with an usb cable .

Click on finder > general > sync 

Let the bar be completely loaded .

Open your mailbox in iPhone 

Click on edit option on the up-right corner 

Click on “new mailbox” option on your down-right corner ,

In the new mail box , in the name section enter your iCloud id say example1@icloud.com

And set your mailbox location as per you requirement (iCloud / gmail) - prefer iCloud 

Then again click on edit , you will see your apple id , under it you will find an option of “new mailbox '’on your right corner > chose the name for your folder and add the mailbox location ( iCloud id )> click on save > finally click on done .


The folder is created in iPhone , open www.icoud.com in mail section in the bottom left corner click on refresh , the mail folders will be visible after few moments , then open IMAP account , under iCloud section in the bottom click on drop down arrows all mail folders will appear .

In iPhone go to settings > in password and accounts > click on add account you can select the desired account it could be gmail , enter gmail address and password and sign in it will prompt to check calendar , mail , notes , slide the box of it the apps data will start syncing .
