Hi,

I set up one of my email accounts in Outlook to connect to the Gmail using IMAP. Outlook created a new folder: myname@gmail.com. In this folder I see several sub-folders:
Inbox
Draft
Sent Mail
Trash
Important
and so on.

I find that there are messages in the Trash box that I deleted before in my iOS device (iPhone or iPad).
Question 1. Does it mean that Gmail didn't get rid of the messages but simply copied them to the Trash Folder?

I find a bunch of email messages in the Important box. For example, email notifications I received from LE of someone replying to my message.
Question 2. How does Google "decide" what is important? Where do I set which senders are important and which are not?

TIA
