G-mail labels syncing with Mac Mail folders

I reinstalled my OS recently (a reinstall of Mavericks), and since have had an issue when trying to move e-mail into custom folders in mac mail.
It seems as though G-mail (which thinks of things in terms of labels, rather than folders) is failing to remove the "inbox" label when it appends whatever custom folder label I'm "moving" the message to. The result is that the e-mail appears in two places in Mac Mail. In the inbox, and in the folder where I want it to be. Logging into G-mail and removing the "inbox" label manually fixes it on a per-message basis, but what a hassel.
I've seen a few answers in the forums like, "make sure you have 'All Mail' turned on in the IMAP label settings." I've tried this and several other things, and feel like I still must be missing a little checkbox somewhere that will fix all my problems, since this wasn't an issue before reinstalling Mavericks. But it also isn't a problem when moving mail using my iPhone, which leaves me thinking that the new desktop mail app just doesn't play well with g-mail.
How can I get g-mail to remove the "inbox" label when moving things in mac mail so it only shows up in the custom folder?

Went into preferences, deleted and then re-added my MobileMe account and this fixed it. I also had some 15,000 pieces of mail in my Sent mailbox. So I archived the mailbox and cleared most of it out.

How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
Thanks!

I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...
/Users/bd/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.DotMacSync
I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
We might even have to go in and Copy this to the Desktop then Trash the originl...

Snow Leopard Mail not sync with iPhone Mail (iCloud)?

Hello all,
Just like to query and confirm:
This is my sister's Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and her iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 on iCloud, she has activated iCloud on her iPhone, using the same Apple ID
She has told me her desktop Mac mini's mail doesn't seem to sync with the mail on her iPhone, but it was, about 3 weeks ago
I know both are different, her Snow Leopard would be running MobileMe and her iPhone would be running iCloud, even though both are using the same Apple ID.
Is the Mail part regardless of whether on MobileMe or iCloud, they would sync, or will not?
I guess the only thing to do now is to update her Mac mini to Lion as soon as possible.
Thanks and cheers.

Yes, you need to upgrade to Lion in order to use iCloud. MobileMe and iCloud are separate email services.

Mac mail no syncing with iphone mail

When reading emails through my iphone 6 plus mail, the emails still show as unread when opening up mac mail.
Mac Book Pro 15'' Retina Display
Yosemite 10.10.1

Using POP, the mail client generally does not inform the server when the user has read each message.
If 1and1 offers IMAP access (as it appears from its website it does), I suggest switching to IMAP access if you require this sort of email synchronization between devices. The downside of IMAP is that each email message continues to reside on the server until youexplicitly delete it or move it to a local folder on your Mac.
Be careful to move/copy your mail out of the POP inbox before switching your access to IMAP (which is done by deleting the account from your devices and re-adding it as an IMAP account). If you do not, you will probably lose messages you care about.

Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.

Sent mail not syncing with MBP Mail from iPad

I just setup one of my email accounts with IMAP on my iPad and MBP to see how they will work together. When i reply to an email from the iPad it will show the little reply arrow in Mail on my MBP but will not show the message anywhere. Not in the top of the conversation or in any sent mail folder.
How can I get it to sync the sent mail?
Any help is appreciated!

Please disregard this post. I've found the answer to my own question!

Can't send e-mails on mifi with mac.mail

My mifi works fine on roadrunner with eudora and mobile me but will not work with Apple mail.
Is there a solution to this problem?

They don't care at all. If you ever get into legal trouble for that spam then it's on you, but at least Time Warner is making it harder for you to be liable. If something like that does happen then it's on TW than it is on you.
The way around it is to use a proxy server. AT&T and T-Mobile has one, but I am unsure of Verizon or Sprint. You may have to call CC to find out if they have one.

Mavericks Mail not syncing with iOS Mail

I'm finding myself having to manually read, save, or archive my email on my desktop iMac mail after already having done this on my iPhone 5 or iPad. The iOS devices seem to be syncing fine, but the iMac mail does not seem to be getting caught up with work done on my mobile devices. In addition it appears as though each time I attempt to synch my iPhone to iTunes it get stuck on step 5 of 6, importing photos. I'm not sure what has changed, I have not altered the way I operate as an end user, I simply go about my business as I normally would except for the fact that I'm finding myself have to do double the work, something that I know i did not have to do, even before Mavericks or iCloud ever became available. Has anyone else had this same experience and/or does anyone know how to fix either the mail sync or the iTunes sync?
Thanks,
David

Update to my own question :-)
Upgrading to 10.9.1 seems to have taken care of these issues!

SyncMate vs. FoneLink for syncing Nokia E50 notes with Mac Mail

Hello,
After some searching, it appears that there are two programs that would sync my Nokia E50 notes with Mac Mail on my MacBook Pro - SyncMate and FoneLink. Both are priced at about $50 - a bit spendy. Has anybody use / compared the two? Are there other options?
Thanks,

Exchange with mac mail

Hi, I work for a company that us wanting me to use their exchange mail server and they are mentioning something called active sync. My company is primarily a PC company and I have been able to use my mac up until this point and used a POP account for my mail server.
Am I going to have to buy some sort of mail software other than mac mail to use an exchange or is there a work around to allow this to work?

Hello Phil.
Copied from Mail Help.
An Exchange account allows you to connect to your Exchange server via IMAP, and if you enter text in the Outlook Web Access Server field, Mail filters non-email related content from the server. (You can get the text you need to enter from your mail account provider.) For Exchange to work with Mail, Exchange administrators need to configure the Exchange server for IMAP access. Some system administrators may refer to an Outlook Web Access Server as an Internet Information Services (IIS) server.
Is the Exchange Server configured for IMAP access?

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

IMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Cald

Will Apple's iMac Mail App every sync with Hotmail Mail,Contacts,Calendar like the Ipad Mail App Does? I really would like to start uing the iMac Mail App. By the way I'm a first time Mac user.

I have the new 27" that just came out this year and I'm running OSX 10.8.2

I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503). Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it. They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail

How do i leave a copy off sent emails on the server with mac mail.
Pop account

Check your mail preferences. The example below is from the mail app that comes with mac. In my case I'm using yahoo mail which is a POP3 account. POP stands for post office protocol which is the set of rules used by a POP mail account to transfer mail. You can learn more about it here if interested. If the box below is checked, all the mail will be downloaded to your computer when you check your mail using the built in mail app and removed from the mail server. Here is another page to help you set up your hotmail account for use the the mac mail application. Hope this clears things up.
