I have been hearing about so many issues with Mail under Mavericks while using gmail and IMAP. I seem to hear more bad news than good news on this matter so I am obliged to stay back on Mountain Lion till this can be resolved or I find a different mail client. Using POP is a non-starter for me.

I also find that if Mail is left running then it begins syncing up with my IMAP gmail folders and stuff and this tends to cumber my machine and cause VO to be slugish until all is caught up. On Oct 26, 2013, at 6:18 AM, Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, When your computer goes

Another reason I would never use POP on any mail server is, I like to filter all my inbound email into separate folders like one for each list I'm subscribed to. You *CANNOT* do this under pop. I use gmail's host based rules to do this and this way I get the same folder structure on all my

I thought I had read some while back that there could be a way to tell gmail to use standard IMAP behavior instead of their approach. I think it was in Google Labs or some such. Anyone know about this or given it a try? Maybe if that were set, Mail might work better with gmail hosted accounts.

Hi, No, this is not the case. The issue is that, at least so far, if Preview Pane is active, you’ll need to turn it off while in Classic View and it will be applied to both views. Some folks here have had problems with it sticking but I have not. Later… Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada
