Windows 10: Microsoft Mail does not display full contents of Gmail folder

I have created a Gmail label as a subfolder of Inbox. I contains 2 messages from the same sender malwarebytes.com, which have the same attributes. However, when I look at this folder in the Microsoft Mail, I see only one message. This means I can't rely on the information from Microsoft Mail, and have to go directly to the Gmail site. So what do I need Mail at all?

GMAIL folders missing from Windows Mail list of folders

This issue seems to have been going on for years. I've seen lots of posts on different sites but there does not seem to have been any resolution. Essentially, when adding a Gmail account to Windows Mail, not all of the Gmail folders appear, specifically,
the Sent folder. When looking at the folder list; under [GMAIL] the following folders appear... All Mail, Drafts, Important, Spam and Starred. The key ones, Sent and Trash (from the Gmail server) do not appear. The Windows Mail app creates a Sent Mail
and Trash folder but these are in Gmail as Imap/Sent Mail and Imap/Trash. When sending an email from the Windows Mail app it does not put a copy in the Sent Mail folder, but it does put a copy in the Gmail Sent folder. But since the Gmail Sent folder does
not appear at all in the folder list of Windows Mail, you have no access to it without logging in to Gmail via a browser. This has been driving me crazy for about 3-4 years now and I've gone through 2 notebooks and several versions of Windows. I'm on the
latest Windows 10 version. I've removed and added the Gmail account many, many times and it's had no effect. I've reviewed all my Gmail settings and the folders in Gmail are all set to be viewed (not hidden) so there just doesn't seem to be any resolution.
Running a troubleshooter is useless as this has been a recurring problem with all versions of the Windows Mail app and Windows OS for as long as I can remember.

I can't believe this issue has not been resolved. If it has, I can't seem to find the solution anywhere. Does anyone know of a solution to this issue?

Thx.

 

Google editing mails?

Google definitely does read the content of your mail. It's how the ads on gmail work.

 

cannot create folders in windows mail app

when I go to 'more' in the mail app and click + a dialog display appears however when I enter the name of a new folder and click enter it appears momentarily in the folder list then disappears and a message appears at the top screen saying that the action could not be completed. I have tried the suggestions from the windows help site but nothing works. it appears that my only solution is to uninstall and reinstall the app, however that is not possible because I don't want to lose all my e-mails and accounts.
I think that the problem is definitely with the app and not some weird Windows thing because I can create new folders with my Gmail account.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks in advance
