Mailbox Structure Not Being Displayed in Devonthink

[lucaberta]

@Paul I am curious to learn how you have done your archival. Or was it importing maybe?

As I am doing some tests on email import and archive just right now, I can tell you that on my Catalina setup with DT3.5.1 things seem to be working fine, this is the result of the archive of my test Gmail account:

New email tests is a new database I have created specifically for this kind of tests, and by selecting “Archive Mailbox“ this is the resulting structure. Granted, I have no labels/folders in my setup, but as you can see the full structure of the mailbox has been correctly archived.

I had to fight a little to understand the real difference between import and archive but this old message from @BLUEFROG made things clear to me:

Difference between Email "Import" and "Archive"

Archive Mailbox will import a mailbox and attempt to keep its underlying structure (including sub-maiboxes) as well. It also will file the emails into an Email group in the database. Import Email can import a Mailbox but will not keep the structure or import sub-mailboxes. It also imports in the current location in the database.

Curious to see how this develops.

Bye, Luca
