Hi Deborah,

The challenge  is that my Inbox gets bloated and  I have to delete emails
so I have to dilate all these emails regularly in folders which just
duplicate what I receive in other folders like my regular Inbox.

That and older email with attachments which my gmail can't seem to find
with recommended settings  by both generous list members and Googled
results suggest make gmail a lot more user-unfriendly email client than
Mozilla Thunderbird (which has its own peccadillos).

 A lot of time wasted without access to tech support from The Alphabet to
resolve these issues.

Thank you.

Charles.

Those categories/labels are a Feature of Gmail that they've decided is so
important that I can't see any way to turn them off (any more than you can
delete the 'spam' folder). You can limit how much they get in your way,
however:
