Syncing the “All Mail” folder from Gmail in Outlook

Are you missing the “All Mail” label from your Gmail account when using Outlook (2013 and later)? Don’t worry, here is a step-by-step guide to get your “All Mail” folder up and running:

1. Access IMAP Folders:
   Start by right-clicking on the [Gmail] folder in Outlook and selecting “IMAP Folders…” This action will open the IMAP Folders subscription dialog.

2. Display Subscribed Folders:
   Within the dialog, check the box labeled “When displaying hierarchy in Outlook, show only subscribed folders.“

3. Search for “All Mail”:
   Perform a case-sensitive search by typing “All Mail” into the search field and press “Query“.

4. Select and Subscribe:
   From the results list, highlight the “All Mail” folder and click the “Subscribe” button.

5. Confirm and Restart:
   Click “OK” to confirm the subscription changes and restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

6. Still Missing – Manually Create the All Mail Folder:
   If the above steps didn’t bring the All Mail folder into view, you can manually create it under your [Gmail] folder.
   Right-click on it and select “Process Marked Headers” from the context menu.
