Hi, Apple Mail by default assumes that you're using iMap and I'm guessing that Windows may assume otherwise. As mentioned, at the web interface of your GMail account, you'll need to go into your Settings, then then to the POP/iMap Settings and make sure that iMap is enabled for your GMail account. I find it much better to use iMap because then the messages are kept in Google-land. Therefore, if I remove and re-add the GMail account, all messages and mailboxes are maintained. Once you confirm that iMap is enabled, you may need to remove then re-add your GMail account in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars pane of system Preferences.
I know that this sounds like something everyone else has been saying but it really shouldn't be causing you this much grief unless there's something amiss at the Google end. Later...
