Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
This is a Classic View for Mail - All Mail
You see to the right the Mailbox column. It shows All Mail instead of showing the folder location of the mails
How can I make Mail to show folder location ?
Message is in Mailbox - Gmail
With this single setting, I expected to see all mails in Gmail, but it shows only inbox mails.
Also experimented with other settings
It could not list all mails in Gmail
Yes, the Gmail mailbox is the Gmail Inbox, that's why it is indented under Inbox.
As I mentioned before, the only way I can think of doing what you want would be like I previously stated:
I guess maybe you could use Any and include an In Mailbox criteria for each mailbox of the particular account, Yahoo or Gmail.
This setting : Message is in Mailbox - Gmail
Message is not in Mailbox - Gmail
will not work as intended (the Smart Mailbox Name: "Show only Gmail online" describes the intention)
It will show also Yahoo mails etc
So if you really know how to make the setting, maybe you could include a screenshot ?
I realize that the above setting could not be correct. But then I need to exclude all the other mailboxes such as every mailbox On My Mac and every mailbox on Yahoo. There is no way to do that.
The problem has no solution. I wonder why you don't admit that , why you must defend Mail to any price and suggest solutions when there are none....
The only use I have of it is as I said long ago, to place my mails On My Mac
Multiple accounts present new complications so I do not use to send mails from Mail
I talked to Apple support on phone
They do not think there will be any change on Mail next time for integration with Gmail or Yahoo.

Do you realize that you are now replying to yourself?
Take a break.
Trying to resolve the issues I posed on Mail is a "sisyphus" job and Barney & CSound1 et al. know that, yet you keep on suggesting that it is worth trying to solve the problems since Mail is perfect...flawless.
You should be more honest by saying: Mail is crap, you should not spend time and energy on it, it will never work as you want.....
That is my conclusion. U R not actually helping people.... do you realize that ? I wonder why you reply so many mails to other people.
Nobody here has said that mail is perfect, perhaps if you stuck to the truth you might get somewhere.
Mail is good, you are not good enough to set it up correctly.
Nothing is perfect.
Got that?

Any means OR, so what you've done is equivelent to A = B OR NOT A = B which gets everything because all your email is either in the Gmail Inbox or it is not in your Gmail inbox.
You have to list every mailbox that you want to display, Inbox, Junk, Sent, Trash, and any gmail mailboxes you made in your Gmail folder, like this:
As an example, I used the Google Inbox, the Google Drafts, The Google Sent, and my own "Keepers" folder in Gmail. So, that shows me all Gmail that is in the Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and my Keepers folder.
yes, but it still does not include mails from Sent although it is ticked
Did you add the Sent mailbox, or did you just tick the box?
The Smart Mailbox as it stands has no link to any particular account, so it can't autolink the Sent mailbox. You have to tell it to include "Messages in mailbox Google>Sent (or Sent Mail if you haven't fixed that, yet).
I have done that too.
And.... do you think it shows Sent now ?
Well, it does ... lo and behold !
But then I wonder why there is such an option "Include messages from Sent"
It does not work you said, so what does it do there ?
One has to select every single box to show and that is cumbersome.... don't you agree ?
It would be much easier to select the Gmail box (which is white) but that has NO effect
The option is there so you can exclude Sent Mail.
If your criteria has nothing to do with Mailboxes, it will get messages from everywhere, and you can choose to include or exclude messages from the Trash and Sent.
Since this criteria is based on specific Mailboxes, it is only getting messages in those mailboxes. Checking those boxes will only include messages from Sent if there are messages that meet the search criteria in Sent. If you don't include the Sent Mailbox in the criteria, no messages are found that are in the Sent mailbox, so the checkbox really has no effect. It is not an additional criteria, but a Filter. "If messages are returned that are in Sent or in Trash, either display them or not, depending on the checkbox."
As said, this is an unusually high level of complication.
There is no issue like this with Postbox. It shows immediatedly the folder location of a search.
You need to do nothing. The information is there.
Spotlight too shows folder location (as a path line at the bottom of the window)
Also Window machines show the folder location
I have never seen such a complication as this one with Mail

Then use Postbox and stop bothering us. It's only difficult because you make it so.
In 2 months you have failed to get 1 email account working, do you really expect any of us to take any advice from you?
Use Postbox.
Mail shows no folder location in the All Mail list
