Apple Mail

I use apple mail. I generally just open mail from the icon at the bottom of my screen on my imac. When I set up a new mailbox in my account that mailbox does not show up in line with the other mailboxes I have. It shows up under a new category "on my mac". Why does this happen? I would prefer that all the mailboxes show up under the icloud category. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Creating an All Mail inbox for Apple Mail that includes all mail from several email addresses My Apple mail app organized all my incoming emails from all my accounts into a folder called “all inboxes.” Today, I must have hit something as I can only see this folder in light gray, but cannot open it. Now I have to check each individual email account for incoming emails. How can I get the “All Inboxes” folder working so that all incoming emails are in one folder?

One of my gmail accounts won't show in my mail app I can't get one of my Google email accounts to show in my iOS mail app on my MacBook Air. I have had 4 Gmail accounts showing before and I have deleted 2 of them (no longer in use, they were in association with previous jobs). So now I should have 3. But the latest one I added (and yes, I went through all the signing in through the little window that pops up through Google on the web, and it shows up in the Mac settings as an email that is one of the ones that should be in my email app), doesn't show up in my Mail app. I have to open the gmail app on the web which is annoying. If it shows up in my mail settings as being added, why is it not showing in my mail app? I was able to get it to add on my iPhone without an issue.

Gmail not going to Mail inbox How do I get my Mail app to work correctly with Gmail? In the last two weeks, all my Gmail goes to all mail folder, no problem there, but NONE of it goes to my inbox any more. I am using iMac and MacBook Air Monterey 12.5.1 and Mail 16.0. I have not made any changes to Mail or web-Gmail, it just started doing this by itself. On my iPhone, they go to Important, no inbox.

When you create a new mailbox you have the choice of where to locate it. You probably (perhaps unintentionally) selected "On My Mac."

If you want it under your iCloud listing (meaning it will be an iCloud mailbox), then create a new mailbox and select <iCloud - yourusername> as the Location.
