I've gotten sick and tired of Outlook's attitude problem, so I paid for Google One and began moving ALL of my emails to Gmail. There are about 40G worth of emails so I didn't want to have them on my server and fill up my hard drive. And we were all using Gmail, anyway; we were just channeling emails for the site through there and then IMAPing it to Outlook.

And so far so good! With ooooone itsy bitsy tiny little issue.

I have a shared email account on the server that we were all IMAPing to in Outlook to share. This is mainly for things that need to be reviewed by a moderator; if it's marked as Read or moved to a folder then we know someone else is taking care of it, and there's a subfolder so that if a mod doesn't know what to do then they move it to the subfolder for me to personally review.

The idea has worked great for a few years, but since I'm getting rid of Outlook I'd like to remove the shared email account, and instead use a shared Gmail label.

I found cloudHQ's Gmail Label and Email Sharing extension:

[chrome.google.com...]

That SEEMS to work great, but! It only shares the label when everyone is using the Gmail.com website. Some of the others IMAP their Gmail to Outlook, and the labels that I'm sharing don't show up in Outlook :-( It shows up if they go to Gmail.com, but not when they use Outlook.

Any suggestions on how to share a label or something between Gmail.com and Outlook?

If not, is there a better way for multiple moderators to receive notifications of things to be reviewed, and then work on them without overlapping?

I should add that I looked at Hiver, too. It does a LOT more than I need, and at $12 /month / user it would really be out of my price range. I don't mind a one-time fee or a cost for unlimited users, but if I ever get back to my old standard of 10 employees then that gets a bit pricey for my purpose.
