Do I need the All Mail folder under Gmail in my Apple Mail program?

Using my Apple Mail, I look at the Gmail folders and one says "All Mail". I have 24,000 messages and most are what I erased ions ago. Can I delete the whole folder from my Mail program? Will that free me space on my 128 Gig SSD?

That is Google's Data Mine that it uses to make money off of your information.
You need to remove it from IMAP on the Gmail Settings web interface. But that doesn't delete the email stored on Googles network.
Gmail doesn't use folders, it uses Labels. A message can have multiple labels. Initially, a message has an Inbox label and an "All Mail" label. When you move it out of the inbox, like to delete it, it only removes the Inbox label. The All Mail label remains.
This article, among many others, describes how to get Gmail's non-standard implementation to work with Mail.

  • How do I show current folder in the "All Mail" listing

    I love just being able to go to my "All Mail" folder to see what is new. However, I am finding in that folder mail that doesn't seem to be appearing anywhere else in my mail. I would really like to see the option of a new column for the "All Mail" folder, which is the folder the e-mail message is located in.
    Outlook has this, and it is really handy. I use rules extensively, and it is possible I have some crossed-rules that are routing my new mail to who-knows-where. If I could see what folder the mail message is in, then I could locate the offending rule and clean it up so that the mail routes correctly. Without this, I have no idea where the mail is stored.
    Thank you for your consideration!

  • HT4207 "archive" set to "off" and deleted notes still show in the "all mail" folder...

    I have "archive" set to "off" and deleted notes still show up in the "all mail" folder, any solutions?

    Sometimes the Junk Email rule is damaged.  An example of this can be seen here:
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2655142/en-us
    I would try a couple of things:
    Try enabling the Junk Mail Filter, restart outlook, disable it again, and restart.
    Or you may find that the just removing the junk mail rule manually using MFCMAPI may do what you want.
    One last thing to look into...  Does the mailbox do Exchange ActiveSync with a Samsung Android device?  If so check here:

  • Those who took a while to active then did activate, did you need the e-mail

    Did you need the e-mail and have to click a link or something, or did your phone just start working? I am sitting on the computer waiting on an e-mail. Is this necessary, or will the phone just start working?
    If you answer please be detailed....thanks!

    The email I received was only to tell me that the activation (from T-Mobile) was in progress. They will send me another email in addition to an SMS to confirm when the process is complete.
    Aside from all of that, I was able to synch my phone with all my contacts, music, etc., access my wifi, and try out the web and a few things. But I was not yet able to make/receive a call (or maybe I just didn't know what the heck I was doing).

  • I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS

    I have 100's of CDs that I have downloaded to my itunes library and they are in the library playable but they do not show up in the C drive under the iTunes Music folder under users.  Why are they in the libary and not in the itunes music folder. Win 7 OS.  When I look in the library under the get info screen it says they are in the folder itunes music, under the c: drive but when I actually go to that folder to look for them they are not there....HELP!

    Hello RumDog,
    I think this article will help you find the media in your library.
    Where are my iTunes files located?

    Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location
    Note: You would usually only change the iTunes Media folder location to share music between accounts on the same computer. See this article for specific steps on how to accomplish this. Also, see this article if you want to know how to move your music to a new computer.
    Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences.
    Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes displays the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    You can then:
    Note where your media folder is, such as for backing up your media.
    Use the Reset button to reset it's location to the default (which is the iTunes folder).
    Click the Change button to select a folder for a new location. Once you change this location:
    If you make a new or alternate iTunes library, the new location will be used by that library.
    Existing files will not be moved unless you choose File > Library > Organize library and choose the option to "Consolidate files."

  • How can I delete the All Imported folder on my ipad (imported from an SD card)

    When traveling, I import all of the pictures I take each day into the photos app to view the day's results, and provide a back up copy.  I then return the SD card to my camera for the next day's use.  In this way, at the end of my trip, I have all of my photos on both my SD card (or cards) and also my ipad.  When I return home, I load all of my photos into Photoshop on my PC for storage and editing.
    I then wish to delete the entire All Imported folder from my ipad.  I have not found a way to do this.  I could theoretically individually select each photo and then delete them all.  This is impractical, however, since I have thousands of pictures on my ipad by the ende of the trip.
    I seems to me that there must be a way to delete the entire imported folder, but I can't find it.  I can delete folders that I manually create using the edit function, but this doesn't work for the imported folders.
    I haven't been able to find a solution on the community or using google.  Any help will be appreciated.

    The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

  • Should I delete redundant images in the "All Images" folder?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but...
    The "All Images" folder contains so many redundant images, should I clean up those redundant files?
    If I do, will it delete them from the individual docs and other files where the images are associated?

    be careful deleting anything from there. this smart search shows among other things all the pics in your iphoto library including thumbnails and such. so what may seem like redundant things are actually not. and remember, this is not a real folder. this is a smart search. deleting anything from there will delete the originals.

    Thanks

    That is strange. As far as I know, the "All Mail" facility is unique to Gmail and Gmail-based mail accounts, and it cannot be removed from those accounts.
    Are you in fact using a Gmail account?

    Your answer also taught me to be a little more persistent, as I had started looking at Preferences, and just didn't notice the icons (including Applications) at the top of that window that would have led me to my answer.
