[Electronics-Talk] getting rid of the important folder in gmail..

[Christopher Chaltain]

I assume Gmail learns overtime what it thinks you consider important, such as messages you flag, file, respond to and so on. Since it's just a label on an existing message, the fact that there's a folder called important in Outlook has never bothered me. I've always just ignored it. I'd think you could go into your IMAP settings and just unsubscribe to the Important folder, if you don't want to see it in the future.

Actually this help article from Google talks about how Google decides a message is important or not and how you can configure Gmail not to mark messages as important.

I agree with you.  I have never understood the significance of the 'Important' folder, particularly that we have no means to choose what is kept in that folder.  For my Gmail Account, it seems to mirror my Inbox which I really don't need.

Hi all,
I recently created a gmail account but having the important folder is driving me crazy as you can't control which messages end up in it. I've tried hiding it but that didn't work, is there any other way to get rid of it? Using latest versions of JAWS and Windows 11 and I use Outlook to access the account but I tried to do the hide on the gmail web interface. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide me, Madison _______________________________________________
