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.

  • Using mavericks, mail, gmail. Moved messages reappear in inbox, then move.

    Using mavericks, mail, and gmail and have been through the latest configuration recommendations (all mail is shown, etc.. When I drag a message from the inbox to a folder/label in mail it will reappear in the inbox briefly, then move to the destination folder. That odd bounce back to the inbox is amazingly annoying.
    Ideas?

    Whenever I dragged messages from my Apple Mail Inbox to the Apple Mail Archive Gmail All Mail folder, they were returned to my Apple Mail Inbox within a few minutes. I read a number of posts here, and fiddled with settings in Apple Mail and Gmail, and made a host of other changes until I was red in the face, but no luck. 
    Then I reasoned that DRAGGING the mail items might be the problem, so I conducted an experiment which showed that whenever I dragged items to new folders, Gmail was not updated with the new label, and so the mail ended up back in my inbox. Whenever I MOVED mail items by means of the menu system, the mail moved successfully. Therefore it appears that Apple Mail does not change the mail labels if the mail is dragged, hence the original problem.
    With this information, I opened Apple Mail and Gmail (in a web browser) and manually reconciled the Inboxes with each other. Once they were identical, I then customized the Toolbar in Apple Mail to include the Archive Icon, to make moving mail from the Inbox to the Gmail Archive All Mail, easy.
    This solved the problem for me. 

  • Syncing Multiple Gmail Accounts including Labels to the Apple Mail program

    First please point me to the correct thread if previously discussed;
    I currently have multiple Gmail accounts; with each account I have several "labels". I am trying to sync my multiple Web-Gmail accounts and labels(folders) to the one Mail program (i.e. Have each gmail account/labels show up in Mail as they do in Gmail). Is there a way to sync/coordinate the Gmail accounts & labels with Apple Mail and sync vise-versa (ie. move to an email in Apple Mail to a Gmail label(folder) then it sync the same in Gmail, or move an email in Gmail then it updates the same in Apple Mail)?
    Appreciate the help!

    i have it working now.  i have gmail forwarding my email to my me/icloud email, which are then pushed to the device instantly, when i respond it shows as coming from my gmail account since i disabled the apple outgoing smtp server and am using the gmail one.  i just tested it a bunch of times, gmails are definetly being pushed to my iphone and ipad, coming thru instantly.
    the only problem i cant figure out is why the iphone 5 is so slow to send thru the gmail server when the ipad sends instantly.

  • Mail update for Mavericks appears stuck. What is best next step?

    Since trying the upgrade tonight, I'm getting the "Mail Upgrading. This may take a few minutes" If I get my cursor over that window I get the beachball. Other programs are responding, but the progress bar has been in exactly the same place (about 1/3 of the way) for 2 hours. I tried force quitting, force quitting through Activity Monitor. I even restarted...and there it is. If the bar had progressed a mm or two I would be more hopeful that it will self-resolve.
    I have to say this who Mail fiasco with Mavericks has been frustrating. I was excited to see the Mail update saying that addressed the gmail problems...not so much now. Any one else with this? Advice appreciated.

    You could try those steps, it helped me with many Mail problems:
    Shut down Mail
    In Finder, go to "~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/" (just do CMD+Shift+G and paste the path)
    Move all "Enevelope" files to another place (like desktop)
    Restart Mail and let it convert/reindex your mailboxes
    If this did work out, you can trash the Envelope Files you moved earlier.
    Note: let it run, even if a beachball appears. Depending on how many mails you have, it could take some time. If it does not work and you're on a status quo you could try it the hard way:
    You will have to reconfigure your accounts and import you old messages:
    Quit Mail
    Go to the User Library (CMD+Shift+G and paste following path: ~/Library/)
    Move, dont copy, the "Mail" folder to another place (like your desktop)
    Open Mail. It will act as if no account is configured.
    Configure all your accounts
    Check if everything is working fine (in- and outgoing messages)
    If everything is ok, go to "File"->"Import Mailboxes" (i think it spells like this in english)
    In the appearing window, choose "Apple Mail" and click next
    Now choose the Mail folder you relocated earlier
    Let Mail import all the Messages
    In Mail there will be an new Mailfolder "Import" or "Imported Mailboxes". If you browse it, you should find all your old messages.
    Just reorder them and put them into the right place.
    Hope this helps...

  • What is it with Mail app on Mavericks 10.9.2?

    This has been an ongoing frustration since I updated to Mavericks, I had no idea it had any relationship with this upgrade until I started reading. First, I read that the issue was being originated when having a Gmail address on Mail, I followed some steps (they didn't make much sense to me, but I did it anyways), where I had to delete all accounts and the follow step by step, I had to add my Gmail account first, then the rest. Problem persisted, I deleted my Gmail for good from my Mail app. For about 2-3 days my iCloud/me account worked with no apparent issues, until, of course when I have the most work to do, ALL my emails stay in Outbox and no matter how many times I ask the system to bring all accounts online, perform all diagnostics, follow any number of forum directions, my account won't work. I have opted for online webmail instead but all my emails on my Outbox are still there, there's no way I can transfer them to my drafts folder so that I can send them out through webmail. Whenever I try doing this then my emails disappear and all my hours of work with them.
    It's been an ongoing problem for at least 3-4 months now with good periods of 2-3 weeks with no apparent problems.
    I need help I can't work and I also don't like the webmail app, it doesn't allow me to multitask as I usually do on Mail.
    Anyone????

    Try one of these options. They both give you a clean start with Mail.
    1) Create a new User. Enter your gmail  account and test. If it works in the new User you know the problem exists in your current User.
    or
    2) You can do this in your current user and it will also nuke all Mail settings.
    1)  Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.) Do steps a,b,c
    a) Scroll to Mail folder.
    Rename Mail OLD. [When you open Mail it will create a new Mail folder. You can revert to this folder if needed by removing OLD from the name. You would need to rename the "new" Mail folder first.]
    b)  Go to Containers in the User's Library folder.
    Delete the com.apple.mail folder.
    c)  Go to Preferences in the User's Library folder.
    If you find any com.apple.mail.plist files, delete these.
    2) Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar. Log in.
    3) System Preferences > Internet Accounts > Delete all accounts.
    4) Open Mail.
    5) Enter one account at a time. Test to be sure you are connected before adding other accounts.
    If you have Gmail, be sure you have the All Mail folder selected to sync. Workarounds we previously used no longer work in Mavericks. You might need to go into your Gmail Settings in your browser to make the necessary changes. See this article for help:

  • Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks?

    Where is the option "Store only headlines" in Mail.app on Mavericks? I used to store all messages on gmail servers. Mail.app on Mountain Lion has feature to load only headlines of e-mails from Gmail. Now It's gone and with new OS Mavericks, I've got 10Gb of mail on my Mac locally.

    This problem is slowly killing my machine! I 'upgraded' to a better spec machine so I could synch my phone would you believe it. I couldn't synch my phone and my laptop with a cable, that was fankly incredible.
    Now I have a new machine and first thing I did was install mavericks, and now mac mail spends all it's time dowloading mail from may mail accounts. I have 4 imap gmail accounts set up and mail is using 56GB on my local disc to store them.
    There use to be an option to limit the disc storage I think 5GB would be quite enough to hald the last few months email locally. Question is how do I set that limit in mavericks. Is there some plist I can edit or something.
    Looking at the activity window it seems to spend A LOT of time
    "updating cache directory"
    I don't think I even have 56GB staore on the server, so how is it possible that I have more on the local copy?

  • Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • My gmail is forwarded to my "mail" on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in my "all mail" in gmail on my mac.  When I try to delete them, they keep coming back.  They are not on the gmail server any longer either.

    My gmail is forwarded to my Mail on my Mac.  I now have over 14000 emails in the gmail "mailbox" because I can not delete them.  When I do, they just come back.  Frustrated ...

    This is a Gmail issue.
    It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this.  When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac.  However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
    There are 2 solutions to this:
    1)  If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP.  You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
    2)  From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails.  Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
    This is not something Apple can address.  It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

  • Mac mail outgoing mail not working with wildblue gmail account

    My outgoing mail keeps saying offline. Cannot connect on the default ports. Tried changing ports, with and without SSL. Anybody have any solution?

    I've recreated the account multiple times and finally have mail coming through under an "All Mail" label under "Gmail" on the left hand side of the application. The one thing I did do differently was uncheck the SSL box in advanced settings, save changes, recheck the SSL box, save changes. Mail started working after that.
    Before this problem existed, I had [Gmail] in the "imap prefix" box in advanced settings in order to get rid of the gmail labels. I did this because I only wanted the Inbox and Sent Items to show in the far left. Right now, i'm only able to view my mail under an all mail folder beneath a Gmail Folder on the left had side. Can I get rid of all these folders and simply use my inbox and sent items icons?
    Thanks,
    Ryan
    Thanks in advance.

  • Gmail emails disappearing from my Mail inbox

    Hi,
    I use the Mail program to manage my emails on my MacBook Pro (as well as my iPad and iPhone).  I recently set up a gmail account and have been having a strange problem.  Sometimes after I read a gmail, it disappears from my Mail Inbox folder.  I haven't been able to figure out a pattern as it doesn't seem to do it every time.  When our IT manager configured my computer for gmail, I ended up with a  Gmail folder and two subfolders called "All Mail and one called "Important" on my Mail desktop.  I told him I didn't want or need those folders but he couldn't get rid of them.  When the gmails disappear from my Mail Inbox, I can always find them in one or both of these Gmail folders.  But the problem is I get so many emails I don't always notice that one has disappeared until it is too late! This is causing some significant problems.  No one has been able to figure out how to stop these emails from moving on their own. Our IT manager is more familiar with PCs than Macs.  I hope you can help!!  It's very frustrating!

    No. The email never makes it to me. It is on my iPhone for an instant, but then it disappears. It never makes it to my Outlook on my computer, and it is not in the Junk Mail, Deleted Items, or in my Sonic Wall Spam Filter box. There are 4 other people in my office, and I know that at least 2 of them are having the same problem. I can't tell if this is a problem with my iPhone or my Exchange Server. Help!

  • Unable to view Inbox sub-folders in Mail on OSX Mavericks

    Hello,
    I'm working with two Exchange accounts that have the same problem.  Both accounts have sub-folders underneath the Inbox folder.  After upgrading to OSX Mavericks, the sub-folders are no longer visible within Mail. If I go on the web and mark a mail in one of these sub-folders as unread, the unread count on the Inbox increases, however the mail along with the subfolder it is in, are still not visible.  Additionally, if I right-click on the Inbox folder and choose "Get Account Info", and switch to "Messages on Server", I can see the sub-folders listed there, the number of messages in it, and the size of the folder. If I click on the folder within this window and choose "Show Messages" it opens a new, blank, Mail window.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how to get these folders to show again?  I tried rebuilding to Inbox to no avail.  I am trying to find a solution that doesn't involve recreating the account in Mail, if possible, as some of the mailboxes I have to deal with are extremely large, and to re-download them all from the Exchange server would take a very long time.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

    Hi all
    Same here!
    The folders still show up on my iPad and iPhone AND i can still move emails into the folders. So in the context of "move email" all the folders show up. But as above, no email folders in the main menu of Mail. I am using an Exchange server too and already setup everything fresh from the start but it did not solve the problem. Looks like nobody tested upgrading an existing Exchange/Apple Mail setup to Mavericks...maybe because Exchange is to exotic. ;-)
    Hope this gets fixed soon and I hope it raises some new ideas in terms of QA!

    Mail seems to know it's there, as you described, but for some reason just doesn't display it.  Honestly, it seems like someone just made an oversight and forgot to put the little arrow in to let us expand folders that have sub-folders.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.
