Yes, that is what I thought. Hilarious as now I only get new mail upon quitting mail and restarting mail. Very frustrating, and I would have never upgraded to Mavericks if I knew the gmail issue was still such a problem, so yeah, I am pissed off at Apple for claiming they fixed the gmail problem. Very misleading, and I guess you just can’t trust anything you hear anymore. On Jan 21, 2014, at 11:45 AM, Robert C <gone.to.da...@gmail.com> wrote:
