So, Gmail seems to look at the URL to determine whether to display the Move to Inbox button. Note that the email is exactly the same in both cases, and that, in both cases, the email is not in the Inbox. The only change is that #inbox was changed to #all in the URL. Adjust to one of your own IDs to test it. Then the Move to Inbox button will not be there. If I use this URL to display it the email: (To test what I write below, replace this ID with an actual ID from one of your own emails.) when archiving the email on the same browser tab by removing the Inbox label (or if you hit Archive then go back on the browser).įor instance, I have an email with ID 14197daa44aa8fc5 which is no longer in the Inbox.if you have a stale view on the browser due to archiving that email.if you used the browser's Back button or its history function.If you happen to use an old URL for showing the message, the Move to Inbox button can be missing, even though it should be there due to the fact that the email is no longer in the Inbox. Normally the button Move to Inbox is present above the open email if the email does not reside in the Inbox folder.īut this is not always the case. So let me rephrase the question to this: "How do I move an open email that is not in the Inbox to the Inbox if the Move to Inbox button is not present?" I just had the same problem, so I believe I understand your exact situation and the reason for your question.

Then you get the missing Move to Inbox button. In the URL, replace #inbox with #all and press Enter to refresh the view.
