It's been sporadic so far.Įdit: As to the issues raised by the article: The only big issue I've noticed is that Mail.app sometimes seems to stop fetching new emails, and I have to manually invoke "Get All New Email" or restart it.

My email workflow isn't very complicated though email comes in, I read it and then either delete it, archive it, or move it into a label/folder. I have two Gmail accounts (both Google apps, one personal and the other via work) that I use via Mail.app.įor the most part, everything just works.
This thread is for sorting through the claims that there is a serious new problem with Mail.app in Mavericks and IMAP-based access to GMail, and whether it is solvable by end users. Those of you using Mail.app for IMAP-based access to GMail who have upgraded to Mavericks: Can you read this the linked article above and comment on how you've configured Mail.app to interact with GMail, and if you're seeing any of the problems the author notes? Have you found any workarounds if you have? If you're not seeing those specific problems, but are seeing other problems, what are they?Īt the outset, let me kindly request we avoid pure kvetching about Google's non-standard IMAP implementation, or the Google-Apple relationship.

I read that article on TidBITS with a degree of skepticism-I'm always wary of the propensity random Mac bloggers have for flapping their arms unnecessarily-but the handful of comments that followed the article, along with a few notes about strange behavior in Mail.app post-Mavericks update here in the Ach, made me think it's would be worthwhile to focus on this issue and see if it's as real and unsolvable as it may seem. I'm fuzzy on the details, so can't make you any recommendations, but you can share experiences/get advice there. The lengthy comment thread seems to indicate this isn't just about breaking integration with Gmail, although that's the worst of it. I'm holding off until I know more about this situation: Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation.
