I realise that Gmail has a way to sync certain labels.  Is there a way to get it to not sync certain labels?  I'm subscribed to a few mailing list things (yarn and specials alerts, mostly), and those get labelled so I can see them easily.  Howevs, I don't care about them on my phone.

Is this possible?

Here from my network page!

There is a way to do this! I have a slightly older than the current version of Android on my phone, but I can't imagine it's changed all that much. In the Gmail application, hit your phone's menu button. Select the "More" option. Another menu will pop up. Pick "Settings". On the next screen, select the email address you wish to modify. On the next screen after that, scroll down to "Sync inboxes and labels"--this will let you tell it which labels to sync and whether you want them all or just the last X number of days. The trick is to have your filters for labels you don't want to see bypass the inbox.

Hope this helped!

Alas!  What I want is the sort of opposite: I want a way to have it say "only sync Inbox items without a label".  When I'm in a full browser, I want all my emails to show in my inbox, but on my phone, I only want unlabelled things.

(My own fault for signing up to offers, I suppose...)
