I cannot get my Gmail Mailbox behaviors preferences to save. I change them then they go right back to what they were…. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

There is also Mailplane.app which is very slick. Anyone tried it?

Thanks for this Noah. Having played more, – I have my google apps account set up like this, however I have a second account name.archive@domain.com on my google apps server. I set my account to fwd all incoming email to it and then I also bcc myself with this account from both mail app and iphone.

This gives you the best of both worlds, an archive somewhere and a simple clean IMAP experience for day to day.

Just curious if this set up works in the following situation:

I have some mail auto-labled on the gmail side. I only want mail truly deleted from gmail if the last label is removed, whether that lable be or etc… I have this working fine now but without having apple mail.app move the deleted messages to the trash folder. The only problem with that is then I have to remember to expunge (cmd-k) in mail.app, or when I use the gmail web interface, tons of messages show up in my inbox.

I’ll test this out, but was just curious if anyone else already uses a similar set up and has it working.

@ Noah – Fantastic! I left the drafts and spam folders alone. The sent and trash work just as expected. Thank you!

@ YK It should work fine for multiple gmail accounts. Please test and report back!

Noah – Great setup. Thanks! How does this change if you’re using multiple gmail accounts? I gather you can’t do the “Use this mailbox for” then?

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Now tell us how to clean up Apple Mail client, there are still an Gmail Inbox at the bottom on the sidebar. it should be there? The other folders Sent and Trash went into subfolder and i got 2 folders under each, (On My Mac & regular)… i guess that other GMAIL on the bottom is there because of the account, but can it be removed?
