I use these two for my institutional account managed by Gsuite (so domain 
in name at domain is NOT gmail.com)

The first entry is one incoming folder. It sees the content of the Gsuite 
INBOX (and only that) for the 5 minutes when an incoming message stays 
there.

My default arrangement is to move all valid mail locally to my machine 
with a crontab-operated fetchmail every 5 min

The second is a folder collection. I use it to access any other Gsuite 
folder but inbox. Since I do not keep any serious message on gmail for 
more than 24 hours, this is used: (a) to check the Spam folder; (b) to 
expunge the Bin folder, where message retrieved by fetchmail are 
temporarily "deleted"

Gsuite 
{imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/notls/user=name at domain}

"All Gsuite" 
{imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/notls/user=name at domain}[[Gmail]]/[]


details on my useage of fetchmail are in here
