If you delete mail from All Mail, you will delete everything that is
in the inbox, deleted, drafts, sent. So if you do not move or archive
mail outside the gmail account, its gone.
I use message filters (not using Mac Mail yet, still on Windows) but
gmail is gmail. Before I dump All Mail, I look at the sent folder to see
what I want to archive. Then I delete mail from All Mail which takes
care of the other mentioned folders. I do this weekly.

say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you
dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing but misfortune.

Hey Nicholas,
Bingo I think you hit the problem right on the head, as I just looked at this
all mail folder and there are 96,000 messages in it. What the heck is this
folder, as I looked and there are emails I deleted years ago. Is there a way to
manage this folder in any settings or get some sighted assistance to purge some
mail on the gmail website. Where do I find the activity menu to see what mail
is doing? Will explore around for it, but not sure where it is. Thanks,

Hi Bryan,
First thing, about how many messages altogether do you have in gMail? Meaning
in your All Mail folder. If it's in the tens of thousands, or hundreds of
thousands, then I think I know what the problem is.
Second, is your All Mail folder enabled for IMAP? It should be.
I by no means an expert on this issue—I don't think anybody is. There seems to be lots of different issues and neither Apple or much of the tech community seems to really know or agree on what's going on. But what I think is happening is that Mavericks Mail has to re-download and reconfigure every message you have in gMail. Most of us have plenty of messages, easily in the tens of thousands, and some people even have hundreds of thousands. So when you launch Mail after recently installing Mavericks, if you show the activity window with command-option-0, you'll notice that Mail is busy accessing the gMail server and checking and downloading all your messages. Even for a reasonably small account this can take a long time. I left my Mac online with Mail running but nothing else for a couple of days. This seemed to allow it to get up and running. So I'd suggest you close every application and stop as many other online services as you can from operating, then just open Mail and leave
your Mac online for a good long time. Meaning at least 24 hours. Just leave it,
and don't do anything else with it, certainly not with Mail. Configure your
energy preferences so your Mac doesn't go to sleep. Check the Mail activity
every few hours to check that it's making progress. If it seems to have frozen,
quit it and re-launch.
Best of luck,
Nic

Hey all,
Would love any advice from those of you not having any problems with Gmail and
Macmail. After a day and a half of everything working fine, I had my busy busy
problems again. I called Apple and spoke to their VoiceOver people and they
kept insisting that my problem wasn’t a gmail and mac mail problem. I connected
via remote session with Apple, and the specialist was claiming my issue was
caused by my other mail account from go daddy. It took us a good hour to check
settings, and mail was constantly caught in a busy loop, after that did
nothing, I did a system repair which Apple felt would fix the mail busy issue.
I am not going to go in to the bad set of instructions that Apple gave me for a
VoiceOVer user to do a repair. So the repair finally finishes and as soon as I
launch mail, busy busy busy. I decided to delete my gmail account from mail to
see if mail worked with just my go daddy account, and sure enough mail worked
fine, so bingo it is definitely a gmail problem. What an
gers me so much is Apple’s claim that the fix they released in December fixed
the gmail and mac mail issue. The whole reason I held off upgrading to
Mavericks was because of the gmail issue. Not sure how they can claim the issue
is fixed when it is obviously gmail causing my problem.
I do have a ton of email in gmail that I keep saved in folders, but this was
never an issue with gmail and Lion. Does anyone have any suggestions? I deleted
all my trash in mac mail, and this did nothing either. Anyone who has gone
through something like this and figured out a fix would love to hear it.
Thanks for listening.
