Apple Mail (OS X Mavericks 10.9.1) and Gmail

I have 5 Gmail accounts set up for IMAP configurations and enabled on Apple Mail. None of the 5 accounts in Apple Mail show the same folders as the accounts in Gmail itself. All settings in Gmail are correct and all settings in Apple Mail appear to be correct. I even went in to the Apple Store and the "Genius" new less about the Apple Mail app than I did (and I've only returned to Apple in the last 3 months.)
So how do I get my "Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, All Mail, Spam, Trash and Archive" folders to all appear and stay where they are supposed to be?
And yes I have utilized the "rebuild" as well as completely deleting all accounts from Apple Mail and reinitiating them.
I have a MacBook Pro with Retina display and am running OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), and Apple Mail Version 7.2 (1874). All of my updates are current.

You do know 10.9.2 is out, right? So, if you still have 10.9.1, you're not current on updates...
"So how do I get my "Inbox, Sent Mail, Drafts, All Mail, Spam, Trash and Archive" folders to all appear and stay where they are supposed to be?"
Please explain what you mean by this, because that will help us help you better.
So, attach a screenshot of what your Mail looks like.
This is a normal layout with Gmail in Apple Mail:

Apple mail crashes after Mavericks update

My Apple mail crashes after Mavericks installation. There are also some other minor bugs that slow down the system but they are by and by adjusting, for example, the mouse took little time to ge tused to mavericks, but notw it is fine. Only issue is Apple mail.
thanks

My initial enthusiasm about the account de- and reactivation actually waned quickly after I realized that I couldn't have all accounts active without crashing. Now I just discovered a new solution that seems to do the trick for me:
*Delete Smart Mailboxes (e.g. "Today")
It seems Mail reindexes all the thousands of mails that you have in your folder and mail just breaks down if you have several bigger accounts.
After deleting smart mailboxes, Mail now works normal. So far...
Tip for those that haven't upgraded to Mavericks yet: delete the smart folders/mailboxes in Mail, and please report here whether you encountered issues or not.

Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance. All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

My Apple Mail is showing 100 million incoming messages and climbing at a rate of about 20k per second

My Apple Mail is showing 100 million incoming messages and climbing at a rate of about 20k per second. Where are all these going and how do I get this to stop?
thanks

Whoa, was your email exposed on a public forum/TV show?
First I would sign out of Mail right away.
Second I would go to your email's website and sign into there. Examples... icloud.com, hotmail.com, yahoo.com and whatever you use. Just to see if it's happening there. If it is happening there, then I strongly suggest changing your email address and whatever website you used it on for login information.
If it's not happening there, then hopefully when you sign back into Mail it won't happen again. If it does happen again, let us know. I wouldn't be able to help but maybe someone else could.

Apple Mail crashing after Mavericks install

Can someone please advise - ever since I upgraded to Mavericks mail crashes. I open Mail (I have 2 apple mail accounts) and it loads my messages. As soon as I click on a message the app crashes. I've sent numerous reports and have to log in through Chrome or Safari which is really really annoying. Please help!!!
Also I don't want to go into Terminal - it makes me nervous - so if anyone has any other tips it would be great. Apple please do an update on this.

I picked up this hint from a similar thread which provides for a little releif. I have three accounts: iCloud, personal Time Warner POP, business IMAP. If I only have iCloud active everything is great. If I try to make an additional account active ( doesn't matter whether it's the POP account or the IMAP ), the Viewer Window in Mail will become unresponsive. [ Keep in Mind that Mail is still running, but you can't see it because everything has locked up. It's almost as if your were clicking on a screen shot. However, you can tell that Mail is still running because the menu's are still working.]
If I activate both my POP and IMAP, everything is great - - - - as long as I don't activate the iCloud account. Since I get my iCloud mail on both my iPad and iPhone, I can live without it being on my MacBook until Apple gets a fix out. Obviously, my business IMAP is most crucial for me.
Here's the procedure: QUIT Mail. Open System Preferences and click on the "Internet Accounts" preference pane. Next, select each email account on the list and either uncheck the "Mail" icon box, or uncheck the "Enable this account" box. Do this for each account. Close System Preferences.
Next: Launch Mail. You will see what looks like a standard mail account without any content. No worries. Select the "Mail" menu and choose "Preferences". Click on the "Accounts" tab. Click on each account and check the "Enable this account" box. You will see your content reload. You won't see your iCloud account in the list. If all you want is iCloud mail, then DO NOT activate any of the other accounts and instead go back to System Preferences/Internet Accounts and check the Mail icon box for iCloud.
I only have two non-iCloud accounts, so I don't know what will happen if you have 3 or more accounts. Let us know what you find out.
I am functional for now. Things seem to be stabile for the moment. I will let you know if things change.

Apple mail in OSX Mavericks not saving preferences changes

Earlier today Apple Mail went buggy, refusing to send messages, displaying no email messages in any box, and hanging. I deleted the com.apple.mail directory in an effort to salvage my email. I got the email back, but now Apple Mail will not save changes made in preferences and will not allow me to reinstall MailTags. I have no idea what is going on here. Any help would be most welcome.

I've been having this problem on all my devices since using mavericks. And it's not only with gmail - also with private mail-clients. Looking for a descent fix!!!

Problem with Apple Mail since OSX Mavericks

Hello Folks,
since i've updated my mid-2012 iMac to OSX Mavericks, i have a problem with Apple Mail: When i start the Apple Mail, the program says that it could not connect to the icloud mail server, and that i should enter my icloud passwort. When i do this, everything works fine. But that annoys me, because it worked without any problem under OSX Mountain Lion.
Has anyone an idea what i can do to fix this?
Regards,
Alex

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

Can't rearrange gmail mailboxes in apple mail in OSX Mavericks

Apple Mail on Macbook via windows domain network and microsoft TMG

Hi folks.
We run a windows network with server 2008 tmg, dcs, and exchange 2007.
We have a few mac clients on our internal network. They log on locally but have all the correct network settings etc for proxy, network and internet access. Everything works fine through TMG including apple mail to our exchange server, and web browsing etc.
The one thing that isn't working is apple mail to other mail providers. Specifically Gmail.
I've created an access rule for testing purposes to allow all outbound traffic from a macbook pro. It still doesn't work, with the following being the only error:
Denied Connection RHSTMG 21/05/2010 10:27:07
Log type: Firewall service
Status: An ingoing packet was dropped because its destination address does not exist on the system, and no appropriate forwarding interface exists.
Rule: None - see Result Code
Source: Internal (10.1.0.81:5353)
Destination: External (224.0.0.251:5353)
Protocol: Unidentified IP Traffic (UDP:5353)
Additional information
•Number of bytes sent: 0 Number of bytes received: 0
•Processing time: 0ms Original Client IP: 10.1.0.81
Someone on another (microsoft) forum said this:
224.0.0.251:5353 is RendezVous protocol, which is used by Mac OS for locating services. it is multicast protocol and it's only purpose is locating things.most it has nothing to do with Google Mail.
The mac has entirely unrestricted access to everywhere (in theory).
Gmail account through windows 7 client using outlook is fine by the way.
Nothing else is denied or refused when looking at the live logging.
Any help with this would be great.
Thanks
Dave

I had this problem too, but I found a post burried on the web that said to add " p06- " (without quotes) before the imap and smpt server names and that worked:
p06-imap.mail.me.com
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
Everything stays checked, SSL for both, authentication and use same username and password checked.

How can I get Apple Mail to show recipient's full name AND email address

In Apple Mail v 6.3 (1503):
I am sending an email to a recipient listed in my Contacts. The recipient has 3 or more email addresses listed in Contacts. I want to send the email to some or all of the addresses.
As I start typing the guys name, the autocomplete feature gives me choices - ie.: In the TO: field and I select the first one, then the 2nd and so on.
However, what gets displayed in the TO: Box is this:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
So, it is not displaying the address between the < >.
so how can I get all three addresses to display like the first one which shows both the name of the guy (as listed in contacts "FIRST" "LAST") and then the actual email address).
For example I'd like it to show:
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Bill Clinton <[email protected]
Bill Clinton <[email protected]>
Any direction in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not at my Mac to check, but try turning off Smart Addresses in the Viewing tab of Mail's Preferences.

Problem Sending e-mail from iPod Touch 4g through yahoo and gmail

The weird thing is, I get e-mail fine on my iPod from both yahoo and gmail, and send fine from one or two wifi networks, but can't send at all from one or two OTHER networks, even though the internet works fine on all of the networks I connect to, and I can perform other actions. Tried resetting my network settings, has not helped. Any ideas?

Sounds like the network's firewall or other security feature is blocking the ports used for sending the emails.
What type of neworks do not work? A businees network?

Apple Mail Archiving in Mavericks

Just updated to Mavericks. My 'Achive' mbox disappeared. Now, when selecting archive from drop down box in an email, the message disappears. Where did it go?
How can I restore my Arhived messages from before I updated to Mavericks?
Thanks.

Thanks but I stopped using google mail some time ago; too much spam & other BS. I'd still like to know how to get back all of my archived messages. I can restore them via Time Machine, but the Mail app. doesn't see the mbox at all.

Can't send mail since downloading Maverick. Using comcast and can send and receive via their website

I have tried all the standard troubleshooting suggestions.

Hi Han71, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Start with these three, check SpamCop or SpamHaus to see if your IP is there...
http://spamcop.net/bl.shtml
http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso
http://www.spamhaus.org/zen/
Sometimes an ISP will bloc a whole other ISP too, if it's the source of too much SPAM.

When running apple mail on my PC (for comfort), reading and moving mails is ok, but sending results in freezing every time. I must restart machine and reload mail.

I have to send all e-mails from my ipad and then go back to the pc to move finished streams to various personal folders
Please can anyone help?

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.
