CJ Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I am stumped! I use Google mail and have done for ages and so I thought I knew my way around it but I have a problem that has me completely perplexed. I am getting mail showing in the "all mail" folder that doesn't appear in my in box or for that matter, any other folder. I have opened up every available folder I have and still cannot find the unread emails that appear in the all mail folder. What to do next?

RobUK Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Have you set a filter on you inbox maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Have you set a filter on you inbox maybe? Nope - looked at that. I also thought that maybe it was email that was being redirected from another gmail account I have but that wasn't the case either. And its not like it's obscure mail. Some is from places like Dabs and ebuyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 When you find this email does it not indicate where it is stored? Sorry might seem obvious or stupid but I'm not a gmail user... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only see them in the "All Mail" folder. By looking at them in there, I cannot see where they initially land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 When you find one of these email can you "open" it? As this might hold more information like the folder etc it's actually in?? Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought Yes, it will open no problem - but no evidence (at least not to me) of where it's situated. Very odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Just trying a few things CJ. Got a message when moving mail from all mail to bin removes all views of the mail. Have you checked the bin. Also my all mail folder shows which folder the mail is in. Have you upgraded to the new look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Sorted! It was a problem with a filter (that I honestly don't remember creating) that had a value to skip in box for promotional and bulk emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Glad you got it sorted You did indeed my friend and as I had previously checked that out (obviously not well enough ) I thought I had that covered. Ah well, it is all working fine and dandy now.
