This will answer all your questions: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/77657?hl=3Den Personally I don't use the web interface- I detest web mail. I prefer to download my emails from my various online accounts via pop3 with fetchmail. They are then feed to procmail for splitting (a hand crafted .promailrc which include a dynamic procmail config file generated by niko-bbdb-split.el[1] and with spamassasin integration). The emails are put into the various folders via dovecot's dovecot-lda command in a maildir hierarchy. I can then read my email from anywhere by connecting to my home dovecot server via imaps.
