Gmail Folders and Filtering - not filtering when using iPhone

Apologies in advance if this topic has been addressed elsewhere.

I've had the VZW iPhone4 for about a week, coming from a Droid Incredible.

I set-up my Gmail as an Exchange account and receive my e-mails via PUSH just fine.

The only problem I have is with how the iPhone handles my other Gmail folders or "labels" for this account.

In my Gmail account I have set rules so that certain incoming messages are filtered (they skip the inbox and go straight into a designated folder/label). My iPhone is delivering these "filtered" messages to my Inbox, which defeats the purpose of setting up filters in the first place.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks!

I found this out last night too and find it quite annoying but, as yet I have not found a solution, so I too eagerly await replies. Thanks for posting the question.

All the filters I have set up in gmail work the same on my desktop and on my iPhone. I don't have any messages show up in my inbox that shouldn't be there.

Are they working correctly on your desktop?

Yes, they are set up correctly on my desktop. I have 2 GMail accounts on the phone, both set up as Exchange accounts. :confused:

In your Mail settings...go to the account you have set up for PUSH and make sure you have the folders (labels) set up to push.

The option is right above the Delete Account button.

Try setting up all of the labels you want pushed and see if that works for you instead of just pushing the inbox for that account.
