Late in answering but have you got your mail client set to keep copies on the 
server?

Subject: Re: anyone having problems with gmail redownloading old messages in 
apple mail?

It's not because of Apple Mail that this happens. For some reason, and in I 
don't know how many years I haven't figured out why, if the email client sends 
the message via iMap to delete messages, Gmail doesn't handle it correctly, and 
they keep coming back. This happens every time in Gmail's "All mail" folder. 
The only way to make messages die forever is to not delete them directly, but 
move them to a trash folder, then empty that trash folder. This has worked for 
me in both Apple Mail and Thunderbird on Windows.
