Gmail & Outlook 2010 Folders

Yahoo is a little big of a dog.

If you remove her account and setup again with app password it should work. Had to do this three times with various people I help.

Yes first they download to the gmail account and allow you to move to personnel.

There is a setting that says use different folder and straight off the top of my head I can't remember steps. I'll look but you can also google. Then it will come straight to Personal folder.

Please ensure you have a backup of Outlook mail before trying any fixes. When I removed account they were as you described, separate from Personal Accounts.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your quick reply
I have added my mums yahoo account to outlook 2010 and it added with no problems, i can send & receive.

looking at that link you gave me, i can now merge this into the personal folders?

i would add, i don't have any emails in the personal folders, everything goes into the yahoo account folders.

How can i move everything onto the personal folders and remove the yahoo account section?

The way I do this is to create rules in Outlook that move all of the email that lands in My various gmail accounts personal folders. You could even setup multiple rules that would sort the email to individual folders within the personnel folders. I wouldn’t move any of the items in the junk email folder but remind her that she need to sort through those as legit email sometimes get put there. Google will get you lots of info on learning to set up rules in Outlook and there’s lot of people here who can help you. BTW, I have multiple gmail addresses and to users on my Outlook so I have a ton of Outlook rules. They work great for the most part but can occasionally be challenging to figure out. Hope this help you.

I might not be following.

You said you don't have email in the personal folders, did you at one point? It looks like all your mail is, as you state in the Yahoo section.

Is her Yahoo set up as IMAP. I would think the way you have it is correct. Once you move mail into personal folders they are removed from server and that means you must backup. Don't worry about space on Yahoo, they provide gigs which can store more mail than your mother will ever generate.

Good news.

Glad the forum could help.
