And if you followed them before upgrading to Mavericks, you’ll need to take some steps to undo some of the problems.īefore Mavericks, the approach that worked best with Gmail accounts in Mail was to go into Gmail’s settings and prevent the All Mail label from being exposed to IMAP clients. In fact, following those old directions now will lead you far from bliss. As I documented in “ Achieving Email Bliss with IMAP, Gmail, and Apple Mail,”, you just do x, y, and z (well, 21 steps’ worth of x, y, and z), and it will all work But, after much trial and error, I eventually found a combination of Mail settings and Gmail settings that, prior to Mavericks, resulted in a stable - and indeed largely pleasant - experience.

Pseudo-IMAP Changes - Mail and Gmail were never a fantastic combination out of the box, because Gmail has a wacky, highly nonstandard way of using IMAP, and Mail always wanted to treat Gmail as though it were a conventional IMAP server. (The Joe Hulk drawing above is a snippet of an awesome Joy of Tech comic published in response to this article.) Here’s what I’ve observed and what you can (and can’t) do about it. Your mileage may vary, of course, but based on my own experiences and those of hundreds of people who have commented online, Mail’s behavior with Gmail accounts - especially at first - leaves a lot to be desired. Although some of the changes are quite clever and useful, the implementation is not without flaws.
