Read first: I know Gmail is the real culprit here, but it is super popular and there are other clients supporting it quite nicely (e.g. @mailbird), so why not the Bat. I also know it is never going to be perfect, but lets make it as good as possible.

Hi, this is more of a request to the more experienced user. I have been using the The Bat! 4.2.16 Christmas Edition (nostalgia) until version 6 but then switched to cloud experience. However, my email needs grew substantially in the recent years and thus with half a dozen of accounts to look after, I am looking for solution. For the sake of me as well as many Gmail users, let's chip in with your Gmail best-practices advice. Lets make a Gmail tutorial together!
PS> I tried TheBat half a year ago first but right after adding first Gmail account it immediately crashed. I did not bother to investigate and moved on to greener pastures, but as old love never rusts, came back again.

Two factor identification does not always work when adding the Gmail account. It asked me to confirm on mobile phone, but after confirmation nothing happened. I had to use other method (I guess SMS but I forgot) that eventually worked.

This is super confusing and not everyone has the same experience. I customized IMAP in the following way but I am still very unsure if it is working as desired. Here is my current, but not entirely functional setup:

• IMAP settings (English)
  

I have also discovered, that when you switch laguage of your Gmail, the names of the folders in IMAP also do change (how stupid is that!).My other account is setup like this:

• IMAP settings (Slovak)
  

This way I don't have [Gmail] folder in my folders list.

Honestly, this is the one I cannot make work. I struggle to make threaded view keep emails and replies in one thread. Have to use
"open reply" function but even that often fails to find the correct reply. Any help here is much appreciated. How is your View threads by set up?

Good news, when adding G Suite account (something@something.eu) TheBat picked up in the process that it is a Gmail account. However, in spite of the above mentioned IMAP settings working more-less for standard Gmail account, when using G Suite email address, I get this ugly IMAP folders which I don't have in Gmail accounts:

• [Gmail] folders in G Suite account

Is there a way around it?

Do you have any other Gmail tricks that make your experience in The Bat better?

Thanks to everyone who will participate!
