Hello, assistance is welcomed. Each time I type the name of the folder in the folder tab of the node, I keep getting a failed to catch folder error. Followed by the examples of folders I can choose from. Right now I'm inputting INBOX.Sent Mail as I've read the sent section is a subfolder within INBOX. Still no luck, If anyone as any suggestions that would be great.

Hi, welcome to the forum. This had me scratching my head for a while but eventually figured out that it should be entered exactly like this -

[Gmail]/Sent Mail

Let me know if this solved your problem.
