Make the Windows 8 Mail app sync and notify Gmail labels
- by Matsemann
My Windows 8 Mail app is connected with Gmail, and is set to sync emails and download emails on arrival.
Most of my mail isn't going to the inbox, but is going straight to different labels. Say, all work related mail is going straight to the label Work.
The problem is that when I have unread email in Work, the Mail app will not tell me. It will only display a label, Work, I can click on, not Work (1) indicating unread mails. When clicking the label, I will need to wait for some time for it to actually download and sync the mail before anything shows. Even if I tried force syncing just before.
So:
The Mail app is not syncing my labels, and will not give any visuals that a label contains unread mail. Is there any way to achieve this?
Without it, the Mail app is unfortunately pretty useless to me.
