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. IMAP has too many advantages for me to give up to go back to something so backward as POP.
I've even tried Mutt in the terminal on the Mac and that has some promise but VO doesn't really track that easily in shell environments.
