Mail rules sending emails to archive on Gmail account, not to the folder I want them to go to

Well, based on what I've researched from other threads it seems like the problem is with Google's labeling system. When you try to move an email to a folder through Apple Mail it essentially just archives it instead.

I've found a workaround, but probably won't be super effective for everyone, but it's at least better then nothing.

To still be able to use Apple's filter system I created a brand new email that works with Apple's folder system and moved the message to that email instead.

So the process I did was:

1. Create new email NON-google account. In this case I made a yahoo email account.
2. Created the folder on Apple mail under the yahoo account
3. Setup rule moving emails to folder created under yahoo account (which originally was received in gmail account)

Voila, now I have a working filter.

I needed this to sort all the newsletters I keep an eye on, but if you also use it for correspondence purposes you just need to make sure when you reply to the email you update the from section to your original gmail account.
