While I hate to switch email providers just because Apple can't get their act together, I must say it is looking tempting. I've found oddities using Mac Mail and Gmail together, of course, but from what I've read in the past, it isn't just the Mac. Gmail uses its "labels" system in place of folders, as well as the idea of archiving, which never works well with pure IMAP accounts. You can jump through hoops to get things set up, but it is not as easy as just enabling the account on a new device.
As to Gmail causing your problems, what happens if you run with Mail closed for a couple days? Open it when you need it, but as soon as you check mail, close the app. If the problems with sluggishness and choppy speech go away, you know you've found the culprit. I don't think Apple lied in this case. They pushed an update to fix major bugs, and it turns out there are smaller ones their beta testing missed. It happens all the time. Are they above lying? No, they are a huge company with a bottom line to protect. Did they lie here? Personally, I don't think so, but that's just me. -- Have a great day, Alex [email protected] On Feb 5, 2014, at 4:10 PM, matthew Dyer <[email protected]> wrote: > i, > > This is why I am no longer using gmail as my primary email service.
