Good Morning WAMUGers,
"<http://tidbits.com/article/14280>
Apple has released an update for the Mail application in OS X 10.9 Mavericks to
address some of the Gmail issues outlined by Joe Kissell late last month (see
“Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation,” 22 October 2013).
The 32.46 MB update, which can be downloaded from Apple’s Web site or via
Software Update, fixes several issues: the inability to delete, move, and
archive messages when using custom Gmail settings, inaccurate unread mail
counts, and additional — unspecified — compatibility fixes.
It’s clear that Apple intended to make Mail in 10.9 Mavericks work more
intuitively with Google’s popular mail service, but the result for many was a
broken mess. It’ll take time before we know for sure if Apple’s update solves
the problems, but Gmail has never used a standard IMAP implementation, so there
will likely be other incompatibilities in the future. Your best bet may be to
use something like Mailplane, which encapsulates the Gmail Web app into a
native Mac wrapper (to see why TidBITS Publisher Adam Engst likes Mailplane,
see “Zen and the Art of Gmail, Part 4: Mailplane,” 16 March 2011), or to follow
in the footsteps of Joe and leave Gmail for a more standards-compliant email
provider (see “Joe Kissell Says Sayonara to Gmail,” 31 October 2013)."
Cheers,
Ronni
