Very helpful info. Thx. I wasn't quite able to make it work but think it is something I am doing wrong. So I will try again and follow closer. Maybe the issue is that all my folder names from iMac are already on my iPhone. It's just that some of those folders don't have the emails on the iPhone that are on the iMac. I believe it's just emails that I put in the folders from the iMac. In other words, when I put emails in a folder from my MacBook, they sync to the iPhone. But not from the 2017 iMac running Big Sur.
Thx! I will give it a try.
