Gmail IMAP & All Mail folder conundrum.

[Super Tigers]

I have just completed a clean install on my Dell 7737 laptop after installing a Crucial MX100 SSD, which has really increased the responsiveness of my laptop. I managed to navigate the UEFI password problem and got my retail Windows 8.0 upgrade disc to recognise my embedded bios licence and activate on installation.
I have installed my Office 365 subscription onto the laptop and I have a problem with my Gmail account, I cannot get Outlook to show my All Mail folder in the IMAP folders, I have un-subscribed and re-subscribed to the folder umpteem times and this has had no effect. I installed Thunderbird email as a backup and this happily shows my IMAP All Mail folder with no problems at all. I would rather use Outlook than Thunderbird as I am paying for the subscription.

Has anyone had this problem and solved it? I have googled the problem and I haven't found a working solution yet. Anyone have any insight?

Thanks

Many thanks for that info, I followed a tip about creating a folder called All Mail and processing the marked headers and now the folder has been populated with my emails!!!

I can remove Thunderbird now, I didn't want to have to use it as my email program as the calendar support is a bit flakey.

Cheers
