Hi,
Just wanted to share my experience, which initially is dissappointing,
What I did was create a new IMAP account for my GMail and kept my
existing account for POP access to GMail.
I ended up deleting the IMAP account because Entourage upon receiving
the messages in the IMAP folders (inbox and any labels you might have)
moved them to my local inbox. I was fortunate that I only accessed my
inbox and one of my labels because upon accessing them through the
IMAP via Entourage, the messages in the Inbox that were already in my
local inbox were duplicated in my local inbox and the labels removed
on the GMail server.
The good news is that the messages on the GMail server were not lost
but the labels for the inbox and the other label I accessed were
removed.
I was fortunate I only had a few messages affected. If you have a lot
of messages, I advise caution until someone can explain why the labels
were removed.
At this point I am not sure which side to blame. The removal of labels
could be caused by GMail or by Entourage or maybe the interaction of
the two.
If anyone can explain this behavior, I would love to hear it. Please
note I did check for rules and mailing list manager to see if
something was created to cause this behavior and I still have no rules
in any of the tabs and only one mailing list manager rule.
