- “Enable IMAP” should be selected.
- “Do not limit the number of messages in an IMAP folder” should be selected.
- Save the above settings.
- Go to the “Labels” tab (the direct link should be: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#settings/labels).
- Verify that “All Mail” have “Show in IMAP” enabled.
- If you are syncing emails from a label or sharing a label, you need to ensure that label and all sub-labels in that label have IMAP enabled.
