Is label the same as folder in Gmail?

Why is my inbox not showing all mail in Gmail?

Your mail can go missing from your inbox because of filters or forwarding, or because of POP and IMAP settings in your other mail systems. Your mail server or email systems could also be downloading and saving local copies of your messages and deleting them from Gmail.

2. Click and drag & drop it over the Inbox label.

Why does Gmail keep marking my emails as important?

This can be down to numerous factors, including the keywords contained in the message, the kinds of emails you tend to open, reply to or delete and how often you email someone. As you’ve found out, these signals aren’t always right. But you can make some changes which should cut down on the amount of messages marked as important.

How are messages saved and saved in Gmail?

Gmail doesn’t have folders. All your messages are saved in All Mail. Everything else (Inbox, Starred, Drafts, user-labels, etc) are just “views” into a subset of the messages in All Mail. And since there’s only one copy of any message, if you delete it from any label, you’re deleting the only copy, so it’s gone from all of them.

Why are all emails going to the important inbox?

Just to clarify, the problem is not that new messages are going to Important. The problem is that there is something setup that is auto-archiving new messages (removing the Inbox label) so you ONLY find them in other labels (like Important or the category labels). The auto-archiving is what needs to be fixed.
