I'm using the default Gmail inbox, where emails are magically filed under the proper tab: Primary, Social, Update and Forum.
In Mail on OS X Yosemite (10.10) however, all end up in the Inbox.
I can see my custom labels (I use several) under "Google" in the left panel. Under Mailboxes, I have of course the standard Inbox, Drafts, Outbox... But the Gmail tabs appear nowhere, not even as folders.
I could maybe create rules on Gmail that would match the tabs, e.g. if this is a "Social" email, then add a label "Social", but this seems clumsy.
Is there an easy/elegant way to enable it?
EDIT
You can follow the instructions from this page (too long to reproduce them here). It boils down to creating server filters for each category (=tab), in order to archive the email from your inbox and apply a label on it. Then, it will show nicely in OSX Mail. Some caveats though:
- The search function in Mail does not work on all folders at once
- You lose the small tab counter, telling you for instance you have 3 new emails in Social. The counter resets itself as soon as you hit the tab in Gmail. Not in OSX Mail
