Mavericks 10.9.1. Gmail migration

I migrated using Migration Assistant from MBA running Lion to MBP 13" Retina(Late '13) running Mavericks updated with the update for fixing gmail issues. My Gmail settings migrated. To cut a long story short, after many attempts at trying to remove duplicate emails in multiple Mailboxes, I finally have the following situation:
Inbox shows all Gmail mails
Sent shows all Gmail mails
All Mail shows all Inbox & sent mails again
Then there are SMART MAILBOXES
I.E. ON MY MAC - showing some deleted & recovered messages
and
GMAIL with all its sub Boxes- some empty and some showing mails eg: Important.
Question:
1. Is this normal? Sure does not look so!
2. Can the SMART NAILBOXES especially GMAIL be removed without impacting the main Mailbox?
3. Should these be just left alone as they are only annoying and not really interfering in anything?
Thanks for any guidance.

First have a look here.

  • How to keep Sync contacts on Mavericks 10.9, iClould, gmail, iPhone IOS 7?

    Have you ever happened?
    Basically I don't want to lose time coping and pasting, doing much work to do something simple. I want to have sync my contacts from gmail account with iCloud account.
    I used to have Lion Mac OS 10.7.4 which was allowing me sync my contacts from gmail into my macbook contacts. What was really beautiful because if I’d add a new contact automatically was updated into my gmail account and by default was updated into my iCloud account (1) which it’s really important in an Apple device or (2) just to have a back up in your iCloud account.
    1. If I use iCloud to save every contact, such as phone numbers, email address, etc.. (with the information that I have read) It'd be default to write emails in gmail if I am in my macbook or a pc from school, I mean it's gonna be a lot of work. , because the contacts will be in iCloud .
    2. But also if I restore, lost, sell my iPhone and I buy a new one it'll be easier if I just type my Apple ID and there's gonna be my all contacts.
    However now I have got Mavericks 10.9.1 which is currently not allowing sync contact in this way, this is a big problem for me I use a lot google mail and Apple things as well. I have been making a small research about but nothing. Can you give me your opinion or solve my problem?

    You can sync your Google contacts with the app,Contacts but you cannot sync between iCloud contacts and Google contacts. Just like your email does not sync between account, but to the application. It's always been that way.
    If you want to email someone from your Gmail account but their address is only in iCloud, this is not a problem as Mail uses all addresses in Contacts.

  • Mail in Mavericks is not working after migrating from MBA to new MBP

    I've just bought a shiny new 15" MBP and migrated the installation from my MBA. After tweaking a few settings, pretty much everything seems to be working fine, except Mail.app. Not only won't it install any Gmail accounts, it won't even add my iCloud mail. The accounts exist in System Preferences / Internet Accounts and sync with my other devices & computers, but won't show in Mail on the MBP, along with a couple of POP accounts. When I sign the MBP out of iCloud, I can add the miscellaneous accounts, but no Gmail or iCloud. Does anyone have any advice? I have installed Airmail to get me by, but I'd like to be using Mail on all my devices, just for consistency.

  • Mavericks Mail sync with Gmail - lost folders

    I use gmail as my main email provider. I have had this syncronised to my MacBookPro, iPad and iPhone for a few years. It worked smothly. Whenever I created, modified or moved mail folders in the Mail app it was replicated in gmail.
    I recently updated my Mac to Mavericks and continued using mail as normal. Last night I decided to reorder my Mail folders to put the folders I access the most higher up the list.
    On doing this I lost ALL of my emails from EVERY folder, inluding the inbox. I was mortified. That was years of filed emails gone. I think they were moved to a trash folder (so they still exist, but mixed in with trash).
    I have since read that this is a fault with Mavericks.
    I really need to restore the emails to the folders they were in. Some of the emails were very important.
    Can anyone advise how I can get these emails back to the folders they came from?
    Hope you can help

    I am running "Mavericks" 10.9.5 on a new MacBook Pro, but I've had a similar problem with earlier computers and versions of the OS (10.8.x): Some of my emails that I keep stored on folders in my GMAIL mailbox appear scrambled in "Mail". The Header and subject line showing up in the preview pane (Message list) belong to one message, but the first two lines in the same pane belong to a totally different email (from a different sender). When I click on that message, I find that the whole message that is being displayed is from that other sender - header, subject line, "From" fields and body. No trace of the mail that should belong to the header and subject line in the preview pane! An example is shown at the bottom - the text starting with "Save $50..." is from a completely different sender and has nothing to do with "SAIL Magazine" - and the "SAIL Magazine" email is nowhere to be found. If I go to GMAIL's web interface, I can find BOTH messages without problem. (In case this is a useful hint: GMAIL in its infinite wisdom decided to NOT mark those particular 2 emails as "important" - shown by a yellow flag in the web interface for several OTHER emails). I should say that my setup is to use IMAP (imap.gmail.com), and all my folders are replicated on any of the several devices I use (two different Macs and iPhone) as well as on the web interface. Surprisingly, the specific problem shown below exists ONLY on my new MacBook Pro with Mavericks - both my other Macbook and my iPhone show both emails normally - but I had similar mess-ups on my other Mac as well. So it looks like that somehow MAIL and GMAIL still do not work properly together with IMAP - I would have thought this problem would be widely known and would have been fixed by Apple eventually? Anyway, any hints on how to fix this glitch would be much appreciated!  - Seb

  • Since Mavericks install, problem with gmail

    Since I installed Mavericks, the only way I can get mail from google mail is to take the gmail inbox offline and then online again before any mail comes in from my gmail account.   Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?   I'm current on Maverick updates (including the Mail update).  

    Have you done the Mail update?

  • Mavericks Mail erased sent Gmails

    I am having big trouble with Mavericks Mail client. Although I couldn't find anyone having the same issue, I am pretty sure the problem is on Apple's side. The Mail client completely erased all my sent mails from my Gmail account. This is 10 years of data. Cheked it on the web. The data is lost, nowhere to be found.

    Thanks, I tried both sides Apple and Google. The messages were erased. They did not move to the trash or to another folder. I am sure that the account wasn't cracked, there were no funny access records. The problem occurred with the Mavericks update. I never had a problem with Moutain Lion before.
    I lost the messages in chunks. The first time I noticed it when I searched my sent mails and discovered that the most recent year or so was missing. After a reboot I lost another year. I immediately disconnected Mail from my google account. I left my other devices (iPhone, iPad) connected and everything worked fine. After a few days, I dared to reconnect my Mac Book / Mail again and it seemed OK  at first. Now all my sent mails are gone.
    I cannot proof it, but I am pretty sure the problem resides on Apple's side. It's not funny to loose 10 years of data. This is a serious issue for me.

  • Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder

    After installing Mavericks I'm unable to unselect "Store draft messages on the server" and "Store sent messages on the server" checkboxes under my Gmail accounts settings. Unselecting both checkboxes and saving settings works for up to a minute or so - after that the check marks re-appear again by themselves. As a result I end up with dozens of half-finished drafts in the Trash folder after I finish the original and send it out.
    I used to have both checkboxes unselected prior to Mavericks, and everything was working fine.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have also the same issue. I'm not able to unselect "Store draft messages on the server"
    Mail app just puts this tick back.

  • Mavericks Mail App and Gmail folders

    I have installed Mavericks on my MBA.  Now in the mail app, when I drag messages from the inbox to a gmail folder, they leave the inbox.  But if I click off of the inbox and then click back on it - they reappear in the inbox. 
    Anyone else having this problem?

    This is one of the largest bugs in Mavericks’ Mail app, which affects Gmail accounts and Google Apps email accounts. This used to work just fine in previous versions of OS X, so it is a brand new problem in Mavericks:
    Mail can’t delete messages from the Inbox unless Google’s “All Mail” folder is visible in Apple Mail. If you try to delete a message from the inbox, the message only disappears temporarily, then reappears moments later. It seems like Apple Mail never removes the “Inbox” label from the deleted messages, so the messages just keep reappearing back in the Inbox over & over again.
    The workaround is not a desirable one: It requires the user to make Google's “All Mail” folder visible to IMAP clients (via Gmail's "Settings>Labels” page). However, this workaround is not desirable because of 2 bigger problems:
    (1) Making the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail will suddenly make dozens of gigabytes of emails start taking up valuable hard drive space, because every single email that has ever been archived on Gmail/Google Apps will suddenly be written to the Mac’s hard drive. This can be a real problem on a machine with a small hard drive, such as the MacBook Air. Hiding the “All Mail” folder prevents these messages from taking up valuable hard drive space.  Not to mention that all of these messages are DUPLICATES OF MESSAGES THAT ALREADY APPEAR in other IMAP folders, so showing the "All Mail" folder in Mail is absolutely pointless.
    (2) Whenever the “All Mail” folder is visible, every new message that comes into the “inbox" also shows up as a new message in the “All Mail” folder as well, so new messages appear like they are coming in twice. Also, users are forced to mark their messages as “read" in two locations: the “Inbox" AND the “All Mail” folder.
    The ideal solution would be for Mail to operate how it used to operate: Users should be able to delete messages from the Inbox, without having the “All Mail” folder visible in Apple Mail.
    Please report this bug to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback and hopefully they will fix it in a software update soon!

  • The logic board of my macbkpro 10.6.8 (OS ML) has died. I want t migrate info to another McbkPro (OS Snow Leopard) but is asking me to update to same OS. Can I update the latter to Mavericks and migrate the info from Mountain lion? thanks

    Hi i took my macbook pro to an apple store because it would not start correctly. The veredict was that the logic board was dead. As this is a very expensive item to replace, I have decided I will buy a new one but I am currently overseas, and will wait a couple of months when I get back home. This is a macbookpro 15 inch early 2011, running on Mountain Lion OS. I have another macbook pro 13inch running on snow leopard. At the store we tried to migrate the info using an ethernet cable (using the "T" command on startup) but the system asked for an update of the OS. The guy at the store told me I had to update the OS so that the two macs would be on the same OS - mountain Lion. As the newest (and free) OS is Mavericks, I wonder wheather I coud update the 13 inch mac to mavericks and perform the migration. The guy at the store was explicit to say that if the OS were different it would not work. But reading on the apple website it seems that mavericks support this kind of migration altough is not explicit about it. Can you please help?
    thanks

    Hi BobRz,
    As this is a new issue for me, I believe I had the incorrect approach, maybe you can help me. What I want to do is recover a few files in my desktop, and some information i had on the iCal application and the Mail application as well.As I do not want to do a full migration into this computer (which is not mine) I believe that starting the damaged MBP in Target mode should allow me to search and cop the files I need. But:
    1. Can I open the Ical and mail apps to look for the info I need while reading it as an external HD  ?
    2. Do the target machine (my friends) still need to be updated to ML o Mavs so that it recognizes my MBP as an external drive if starting it in Target mode ? (no migration assistant)
    Thanks.

  • How do I fix my gmail after installing mavericks - it won't allow me to move emails to folders it just moves them back to the inbox?

    I upgraded to Mavericks. Now my gmail accounts won't work properly - I can move emails out my inbox into the various folders I use to file them. Can anyone help?

    That is correct...  I know the Admin password but the password for my keychain is not correct and I can't seem to remember what the last password would have been.  Any ideas how to reset it?  Maybe delete and recreate?  I know I may lose some info.  Thanks!

  • Migrating mail from Tiger to Mavericks

    I was getting ready to use Migration Assistant to migrate from a PowerPC G4 with OSX Tiger (10.4.11) to an iMac with Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) when a pop-up came on the screen for a free update to Mavericks (OSX 10.9). Without thinking of the ramifications of doing this, I ran the update. Now I find out that Migration Assistant in Mavericks is not compatible with Migration Assistant in Tiger. Also, I did not turn on the Time Machine so cannot revert back to Snow Leopard.
    Since I cannot use Migration Assistant, how do I migrate the Tiger mail into Mavericks? I tried importing mailbox from within Mavericks and it imports but does not look right.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Start with http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889. You could wipe the iMac, reinstall SL, update it, and then migrate from the G4.

  • Restoring files from Time Machine after installing Maverick

    I have an older MacBook Pro and while installing Maverick my aged hard drive gave out. I got a new hard drive installed by an authorized Mac dealer and now I'm trying to restore files from Time Machine. I haven't done anything at all yet with Maverick. I followed the Migration Assistant directions and have the backup connected to my laptop. The backup icon appeared on my desktop. I hit continue and followed directions and reached the point where it said "looking for source" and there is a spinning ball. That was an hour ago. Is it just taking a long time to sort through the large volume of material in my Time Machine backup, or is something wrong? What should I be doing, if anything? Thank you for your help.

  • How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

    Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

    --> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work

    --> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards.  That said, mine works great.  So far.

    --> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming).  I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
    --> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
    Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

  • Migrating content from an encrypted Time Machine external disk (will not easily work)

    I recently purchased an SSHD to upgrade my Mac. I preferred not to completely restore from Time Machine, but rather to install a new copy of Mavericks on the new disk and then migrate my TM content afterwards. At the end of installation, Mavericks proposed the option to migrate data from a TM backup, which I chose.
    It turns out that the Migration Assistant did not recognize any disk, perhaps because it was encrypted, nor displayed any way to select the volume and unlock it by entering its password. Despite what Pondini says the Time Machine backups disk was not seen by the Mac: as workaround I had to create a fictitious user, log in, unlock the disk (that was immediately recognized by the system) and then run the Migration Assistant from there (by the way, after 4 hours I finally logged into my migrated account and found out that apps were not imported at all!)
    I find all this quite not…applish! I could have preferred to unencrypt the TM disk rather than
    Is there anyone facing this same experience? Hope that this, if it's a bug, will be fixed, otherwise I'll have to make a TM backup on a secondary disk (which I don't own so big).

    Well a google search would appear that disk utility will show you the disk regardless if it's mounted or unmounted. you're best bet would be to unmount the disk in finder, shut down the computer completely, unplug it from a power source, and then unplug the firewire...
    I think this is your safest bet but then again, I'm not that worried about ejecting my disks.
    you get no error messages when you right click and eject the disk in in disk utilty? you said you have a my disk, do you mean My Book by western digital? I know that they load software onto the machine for encryption purposes. have you tried ejecting the disk from there? I uninstalled said software so I can't tell you if there is an option for that or not.
