I am not having any problems at all with gmail. Despite the suggestion that you not hide the all mail folder…mine is hidden from apple mail. I have no idea why, but this has not caused me any problems whatsoever. I also delete instead of archive any unwanted mail. If it’s an email I want to save I just move it to a folder/label called “filed” and this seems to work for me if I don't’ want an email in my inbox but I might want to access it later.
If only showing 1000 messages fixes your problem than maybe you could use safari and the gmail website to search for an old email? Or maybe even though you only show 1000 messages when you do a search it will search all messages??? I do not know. Maybe someone else here has a suggestion on accessing old emails. A long time ago I wanted to get rid of tons of unwanted emails so I created folders in apple mail to the on my mac instead of in the gmail portion of the side bar in apple mail. I don’t know how to explain that one, except to say that the folders were on my computer’s hard drive instead of syncing with gmail. then I went to gmails’ website and cleaned everything up except for the newest incoming messages. Then I went back to apple mail and moved the emails from my hard drive back to the appropriate folders in my gmail account. It was a crazy time but that was how I got rid of all the years and years of unwanted emails but I still was able to keep the ones that I wanted. It wasn’t a perfect solution but it worked for me. It was a couple of years ago and I don’t remember all the details. So I don’t remember exactly everything I did so I hope I am not leading you astray. I am absolutely no expert of any kind, very very far from it. I just cannot put my finger on why some are having major problems and some are not. The one thing I know I do different than a lot of people is that I do not Archive, I delete emails.
