Apple ios mail app gmail label sync

A very specific question!

Unfortunately, the built-in Mail app on iOS does not have a direct way to sync Gmail labels. However, there are a few workarounds to achieve label syncing:

  1. Use Gmail's built-in label syncing feature: Gmail allows you to sync labels across devices using IMAP. To enable this feature:
    • Log in to your Gmail account on a computer.
    • Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and select "See all settings."
    • Go to the "Labels" tab.
    • Check the box next to "Show in IMAP" for the labels you want to sync.
    • Click "Save Changes."
  2. Use a third-party email client: There are several third-party email clients available for iOS that support label syncing with Gmail, such as:
    • Spark Mail: A popular email client that allows you to sync Gmail labels.
    • Microsoft Outlook: While primarily designed for Exchange accounts, Outlook also supports Gmail accounts and label syncing.
    • Airmail: A feature-rich email client that supports label syncing with Gmail.
  3. Use a label syncing app: There are several apps available that specifically focus on syncing Gmail labels with the iOS Mail app, such as:
    • Label Sync: An app that allows you to sync Gmail labels with the iOS Mail app.
    • Gmail Label Sync: An app that syncs Gmail labels with the iOS Mail app and also provides additional features like label management and filtering.

Please note that these workarounds may require some setup and configuration to get working correctly. Additionally, some of these solutions may have limitations or require a subscription or one-time payment.
