Mail moves to archives instead of Gmail

After upgrading to Mavericks, when I move a message from an iCloud account to a Gmail account by dragging it to the Gmail account in the sidebar, Mail forwards the message to the Gmail account and moves it to the Mail Archives folder so it reappears in the iCloud account conversation. I have to drag it from the iCloud account to the Gmail account a second time to get it to disappear from the iCloud account in Mail. Is there any way to stop this frustrating Mail behavior? (I never intend and do not want the message to move to the archives folder in Mail; I simply want to move it to the Gmail account.)

This is an actual Windows OS issue, specifically with assigning default programs. However, it may also be a browser setting issue. Regardless the following explains both how to assign for Windows XP OS itself & as default browser client.
'''The following link will show you how, where, and what to do regarding assigning gmail as your default email for windows XP OS '''
[http://techfleece.com/2011/02/18/how-to-make-gmail-your-default-email-account-in-windows-xp-and-windows-7/]
'''Set Gmail as your default email in firefox'''
Additionally you can also set gmail as your default email client for your browser, in this case FireFox as follows.
Go to > ''Tools > Options,'' switch to the > ''Applications tab'' and type > ''mailto'' into the search field. You can now select an > Action for mailto links from the ''drop-down menu.''
Let me know if you need any further help if neither solves your issue.

My gmail got hacked - password changed and plea for money went to all in my address book. Mostly fixed, but new e-mail goes to Trash instead of Inbox.

Sounds like your issue is between gmail and charter. Thunderbird would have no part in this operation.

Updated maverick and all my mail archives disappeared on gmail

Please help, I recently updated maverick and all my mail archives disappeared on gmail. I would apprecaite any advice on how to fix it. I have three gmail accounts two for my business and one personal and all three inculde important data.

I saw one other user that had the same issue. Messages were gone in Mail and on Gmail server. If you do not have backup, your data is gone. It's unclear if this is a Mail or Gmail's server at fault.
Let's first check manually to see if your data is still on your Mac.
Go to your User's Library.
Scrol to Mail folder
Inside V2 folder look for IMAP-YOUR [email protected]
Look for All Mail.mbox in [Gmail].mbox
Drill down to see if there any actual messages

Apple Mail STILL does NOT sync with GMAIL...even with Mavericks 10.9.2...why?

Apple MAIL still does not sync well with Gmail.
I have to close Apple Mail program down, re-load it, select "synchonize all accounts." Then MAYBE it will finally sync up. If not, I do this again and again. Then, randonmly it seems, it finally syncs.
My iOS devices sync instantly and accurately 100% of the time. When I pull down the inbox to update, it does so almost at once. Accurately.
WHY does Mavericks APPLE MAIL have so many issues STILL!? Worked fine before Mavericks? Is there a solution?
Mike

I'm not sure if you were seriously asking or just looking for a place to vent, but I've read a lot about this topic and so I'll give a brief reply.
Unfortunately, I've not seen a solution to this problem. Many people have had success with various "voodoo" solutions (re-starting or some variant) but there's really been no reliable, consistent answer to this problem. Most people seem to think that syncing was improved (but was not completely fixed) with the 10.9.2 update. The only "solution" I've seen is to move off of GMail.
As to WHY this is happening, well, again I've not seen anybody diagnose the problem in any scientific way, but the consensus seems to be that this problem started because Apple modified the way the Mail program stored and indexed a GMail account. Many people (including you) say "it worked fine before" and yes perhaps it did, but there was a big problem lurking.
As you might know, Google moved off the mail standard when they created their mail system. Now, this is a rant for another post, but IMO by doing that they should have provided code for 3rd-party mail clients to use their new mail system properly. But of course that would defeat any competitive advantage their own client had, so instead all they did was support an IMAP interface.
The problem is that when an email arrives at your GMail account, it is in your Inbox and also in the "All Mail" folder. This is not in concert with IMAP protocol where a message is only in one folder. So a naive IMAP email client downloads such a message twice. If a message happens to be in a several folders (tags in GMail-speak), an IMAP client downloads it several times. It might have looked like it was "working fine" to you, but for people who have many gigabytes of mail, this duplication is a big problem.
Likewise, if you search for an email, an unaware IMAP client will find it in multiple folders, and report back each copy. Anyway, you get the idea. Apple tried to improve their Mail client to support this, and unfortunately they have a big bug. Well, I say "big" because it really annoys me. Apparently it must be not be affecting a large percentage of Mavericks users or else they would have fixed it by now. Even more annoying, there's no "switch" to get Mail to act like a dumb IMAP client again. It appears to detect that it is talking to GMail and this new system kicks in automatically. (Perhaps this could be tricked by using some kind of proxy?)
So why is this not happening on iOS? Well, again, nobody knows for sure (and Apple isn't saying), but the theory is that they didn't implement this complex scheme on iOS (yet). Maybe they were first testing it out on Mavericks, or perhaps they didn't think it was worth the trouble because on iOS the Mail caches are typically much smaller. On a desktop machine, usually there is a copy of all your IMAP mail sitting on the disk. On a mobile device, only a few messages are kept around at any time.
Sorry I don't have more info to give at this time. Good luck.

Mail.app is COPYING instead of MOVING mail to folders (using IMAP)

Hi there,
I hope I can keep this simple, I'll go by the steps leading to my propblem:
1.
I've been using POP3 mail for a long time, mainly with Outlook on PC's and now that I have made the godly switch to Apple I've been using Mail.app for a couple months. I host my domains at GoDaddy.com and they offer decent mail servers including webmail, etc. Since I'm checking mail on multiple platforms (iPhone, iPad, MacBook and webmail) I decided to start using IMAP instead of POP3. GoDaddy set that up form me in seconds and I got IMAP working on Mail.app in no time (yes, I deleted the old POP accounts and started from zero creating new IMAP accounts).
2.
I've learned to keep mail filing easy so I have just two folders: "Inbox" and "archive". My inbox is... well... my inbox. If a mail is in my inbox it's because it's either a brand new unread mail or it is read and I'm keeping it there because action needs to be take upon it. Once action has been taken and I want to save the mail for future reference I just archive it. If I want to retreive mail I just make a search across all folders. Of course I also have the trash folder, sent items, junk, etc.
3. THE PROBLEM
As seen on the subject line, Mail.app is COPYING instead of MOVING mail to the IMAP server based folders. So when I click on archive, or manualy drag a mail to the "archive" folder it places a copy there but the email is still visible in the inbox on all my devices. I have tried creating other IMAP folders and giving them different names such as "saved mail" or "old mail" and still I get the same problem. To prove the problem is on the Mail.app side I loged into my webmail and moved messages to the "archive" folder from there, and guess what... it worked. The messages did not show up in the inbox of any of my devices any more.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.... I'm talking about three email addresses which receive tons of business related mail every day... I'm flooded in mail.
THANKS in advance for your help!
Kinds regards,
Willem

Thanks wjosten,
I had already tried that. I even created a keyboard shortcut to do so. It doesn't work! As soon as I close down Mail.app and start it up again, the messages are back in the inbox.

Maintain Quick link b/w received & sent mail intact on archive & re-import

Is there a way to archive a mail account (Inbox and Sent) and re-import the folders inbox and sent mail in a way that the quicklink between mail received and mail sent/forward remain intact?
Because simply moving the inbox box and sent box to folders on OnMyMac results in the loss of this quicklink. That is I can see the Reversed arrow - but it says the sent message has been moved and not traceable.

Well, if it is possible, here's how...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
With those files moved to a safe place, unzip them with a double click.
Then open Mil and use the Import function.

Can I use Mail to reply Hotmail messages through Gmail?

I have Hotmail and Gmail.
Hotmail is my main account that I use for general things on the web. I have it since 95 and I don't want to terminate it.
I have Mac Mail and Hotmail POP3 does not sync well with it. It does with Gmail.
My question is. Can I fetch emails from Hotmail with Gmail on my Mac Mail and when I reply the recipient sees it as Hotmail email instead of Gmail email? Does that make sense?
I want people to receive a Hotmail email, even though I am using Gmail to fetch it on my Mail app.
Thanks for any feedback.

Do you have an email account provided by your ISP, that is POP perhaps? If so, then depending on the policies of your ISP, you may be able to add the Hotmail address to the email address address entries for that POP account, and with the SMTP of your ISP, send from the Hotmail address. Many ISP provided SMTP do not restrict the From address you use, so long as the account with is active (usable).
More info, please.

Why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

why mail can't receive email from gmail today, but yesterday was fine and yahoo is fine.

It's a risk if you're using POP3 mail. You can archive mailboxes to another location for safe keeping.
Or, just try adding new versions of the accounts without deleting the old ones (you can have duplicates, name them different so that you can tell them apart). If the new ones work, then you can just drag the mail folders from the old to the new and then delete the old.

Mail program will not download any Gmail messages

Hi,
I have 5 email accounts set up through my mac Mail program. 2 are Gmail and I have not been able to download any messages since Saturday. All 3 other accounts send and receive fine. I was able to send messages from both gmail accounts.
My iPhone is picking up mail from both accounts. I've checked my Gmail settings and they seem to be correct.
Any ideas?

Hi Jenna,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup

I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated. I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line. My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there.
My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.
When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems. Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe. I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?

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.

How can I stop Mail from automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing email?

Mail is automatically archiving every incoming and outgoing message, and then synch'ing that with my iPhone -- thus sucking up all available memory. I have never asked it to automatically archive everything, and can't figure out how to stop it. Any ideas?

Launch Mail.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
Uncheck the box beside "Include when automatically checking for new messages".
Do it for all accounts if you want.
Best.

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.
