How can I Map my Folders to match my Provider?

Looking for the "My Folders" group in the Folder Drawer? That is the list of your own custom folders, and it is not related to folder mapping. See Managing Email Folders.

To manage your folder mapping, follow these steps:

  1. Tap Settings
  2. Tap Accounts
  3. Tap your account
  4. Tap Folder Management
  5. Scroll to the Folder Mapping section

To change the folder mapping, tap the folder you wish to map from, and select the folder you wish to map to.

The section lists Drafts folder, Sent folder, Spam folder, Trash folder and Archive folder, so every one of BlueMail's special folders can be pointed at exactly the folder your provider uses.

Gmail accounts are simpler still. Gmail keeps sent and archived mail in step with BlueMail automatically, so those two are already handled for you and the section shows just the three worth setting: Drafts folder, Spam folder and Trash folder.

Settings → Accounts → account → Folder Management

Your mapping should match the folders your provider’s web client is using to ensure your sync is performed correctly. For example, you should map your Spam Folder to the Spam folder on your web client.

Emails that you archive, delete, or send in BlueMail will be placed in the corresponding named folder for later access on your web client and vice versa.

Note: For Gmail and Outlook.com accounts, you will not have the option to change your Sent folder, your provider already sets it to the appropriate Sent folder.

Note: Folder mapping is applied only to IMAP and Exchange protocols and not to POP3.
