Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
some geek here must have solved it - come on!

Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

Send from Gmail alias in Mail.app in iOS 7?

I have a Gmail account with several email accounts that forward into it. I've configured Gmail on the web so that I can send email from those accounts.
I just set up this Gmail account in Mail.app in iOS7 on my iPad.
In Gmail on the web, if I receive an email to one of the accounts that forwards into this Gmail account, and click "reply", it will automatically send use that account as the "from" address (rather than the Gmail account).
Is there any way to specify this as a preference in Mail.app on the iPad? Otherwise I have to remember to manually change the "from" address when I reply to an email sent to any of the accounts that forward to my Gmail account.

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Older post from apple support community delivered on gmail show in Mail App when new notification received

Hi all,
I am using Mail as a client to my Gmail account.
I am registered with such account to receive notification about new posts from Apple Support Communities on which I took part.
However when I receive a new mail notifications, I get a huge list of post, it basically seems the whole conversation.
Even if the grouping done by Mail App shows 1 message only, I can see lot of posts attached to the mail.
Apparently by deleting the group or the very latest mail, it deletes the whole conversation, but everytime a new mail arrives, the conversation shows again.
By doing a search for sender and subject on notification arrival, only one mail shows from the results.
When deleting the mail, the whole conversation gone from Mail App, did the search again with same criteria, and got 0 result.
Why this behavior ? Am I missing something ?

*I figured it out!*
Simple fix, here is what you do - open Mail v4.2 > Preferences
Select your Gmail account with this weird problem (I say select, cause in my situation I have multiple Gmail account setup but was having trouble with 1).
Then goto > Advanced tab
and then just type "/" (forward slash) - and then wait for a minute, it should fix it and allow to receive all the ghosts messages again - which apparently were visible under my online (web based) gmail.com's account also on my iPhone. You might see double messages, don't freak out like I did - Quit Mail v4.2 and restart that should go away as well, like in my case. Strange? Definitely
Anyways, hope this helps!

Using GMail as the mail app doesn't work

I have Firefox 11.0, OS X 10.7.3 Lion. In Firefox, I go to Preferences / Applications, and set the default MailTo app handler as GMail. I restarted Firefox, when I click on a mailto link nothing happens (just the click highlight). I installed Google Notifier, and when I launch the Mail app, I made sure the default mail program is Google Notifier. Still doesn't work.

Interestingly enough, clicking a hyperlink from Safari works great - launches Firefox tab with a new message composed.

[Google Mail] / [Gmail] folder in Mail.app

Like others I'm trying to get rid of the [Google Mail] folder that shows in the folder list (you may have [Gmail]). This is only my tidy fetish rather than some kind of operational issue.
There's some strangeness involved:
Mail.app sometimes shows a sub folder to [Google Mail] called Starred but this has no mail in it - despite there being starred mail in the account. Starred mail only shows in the Flagged folder. **
In GMail's settings, I tried turning off the Starred label from showing in IMAP thinking that the [Google Mail] folder was only showing because it had a nested label. The Starred sub-folder disappeared but the folder [Google Mail] did not.
I have tried two work arounds that I found.
Firstly creating a label [Google Mail] then not showing it in IMAP (this is why I also tried hiding Starred from IMAP in case there was a nesting issue).
The other was setting 'Google Mail' as the IMAP Path Prefix in Mail.app preference. Whilst that got rid of the folder, it also hid all of my labels - these appear to be at the same level in the IMAP hierachy so setting the path via [Google Mail] hid the other labels from view.
I noted that with a label [Google Mail] visible in IMAP, the corresponding folder icon was grey. With the label hidden from IMAP or deleted, the icon is clear / white. Either way though, this doesn't change whether the [Google Mail] label/folder gets shown.
On top of all of this I have a more recently enabled account which does not show the [Google Mail] folder at all. The label and IMAP seetings are identical across the accounts. (Interestingly this account does show the Starred label as a folder at the same level as my other labels - but it is also empty with all starred mail for the account showing in Flagged. **)
Thank you for taking the time to read this far. Does anyone have any other ideas worth trying?
Andrew
** Just a note if you try hiding the Starred label in IMAP... Flag changes in client apps (Mail.app, Mail on iOS) will sync back to Gmail forcing changes in a mail's Star staus. BUT changes made in Gmail will not sync back to changes in the flag status in the client. This means that hiding Starred can quickly mean your flags and stars are out of sync across devices, apps and Gmail. Probably best not to turn it off.

I actually don't see that in my setup. But if it is really annoying you enough, I'd post it on the Gmail support forums.

Does this describe your situation?

A different sort of problem with GMail IMAP on Mail.app (Tiger)

I setup my GMail account using IMAP under Mail.app (Tiger). At first it worked fine. But now it just hangs when I go to the Inbox. I get the clock or pie or whatever that is next to Inbox. In the Activity Monitor I see...
[[email protected]] Performing pended
Copying Message
[INBOX - [email protected]] Opening mailbox...
Opening mailbox...
I have let these sit for hours (we're talking over 12) and it gets nowhere. I have removed the account, deleted the associated files under ~/Library, recreated and it just comes back. I can use Thunderbird without any problems at all.
Any ideas what might have happened? I did uncheck saving drafts, trash, and junk on server as Google suggests.

Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up the Gmail IMAP account there.
4. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
<hr>
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Does Gmail IMAP in Mail.app take up HD space?

I'm looking to move from Sparrow to Mail.app now that it was sold to Google and won't be adding new features. One great feature with Sparrow is the ability to download message on demand so it doesn't take up precious HD space. Does anyone know if I have Gmail set up on Mail.app if it does the same thing, or is each message and attachment being stored locally and taking up space?

Yes, but are they stored, including the attachment? It's more the attachments I'm worried about.

How to log into gmail with default Mail app

So my gmail has a 2 step verification option to have it more secure, but the default mail app on my iphone 5S does not give me the option to give a second verification so I can't log in.
They continuously say my password is incorrect because of this...
Any way to fix this please?
Ludwig Dory

After more googline I actually found the solution, I'll post it here in case anyone else has the same problem I had:
You have to go to the double verification setup in browser https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthSettings and generate an app specific password, this is the only way it'll work.

GMAIL on Native Mail App

I set up my Google mail in native mail app as a Google mail account and everything worked for a couple weeks. Now the mail app is only pulling mail from 2011 and older. I set up my mailbox on a couple other collegues iphones and have the same issue. I downloaded the Gmail app and checked Gmail through Safari on my phone and the account is fine. The current email is in my inbox. My desktop is the same. The issue is just with the mail app on IOS 8 and it was working for 2 weeks with no issues. I didnt make any changes. HELP!

Not seeing the problem on either my iPhone 6 or iPad Air. Have you tried deleting the account in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar? It's a good first step in troubleshooting email issues. However, given that you've tried to set up the same account on other phones, it may not do any good. Are you using the default settings for Google when you set up the account?

Gmail labels: moving mails in Mail Mavericks 10.9

Mails cannot be moved to a gmail folder with Mail OSX 10.9. At first it seems working correctly, but. After closing Mail the mails are again to be seen in Inbox. I am using a Gmail account with labels using them as folders. I normaly move the mails with the mouse, dropping them onto the label name. (With iPad iOS7 Mail moving is working correctly, only if Mail OSX 10.9 is closed).

Try writing a Rule in Mail/Preferences.
The attached is only an example. You'll probably have to fiddle with it.

Importing Entourage 2008 mailboxes into Mail.app loses message flags

I'm in the process of migrating my data from Entourage 2008 to Mail, iCal and Address Book. The problem is that when I use Mail.app's built-in import from Entourage feature, the messages lose their flag status (read, unread, replied, forwarded, etc) in Mail.app. Does anyone know of a way to preserve this information? Cheers

Well there are some suggested solutions on here if you search for them. Hoever, I eventually worked around it by just importing a section of my old email at a time. A bit tedious, but it worked.
