Users of Apple's Mail.app who also used Gmail have basically had non-functioning or semi-functioning email since the Mavericks OS X update. I was one of the affected users and have spent hours dealing with the issue, then eventually just reverted to web mail until they fixed the problems.

Some users. I'm using multiple email accounts via Mail.app, amongst them 4 Google accounts, and I've experienced zero issues.

I only know about any issues from reading HN, because absolutely no one I know has had any problems.

What's great is that after the update, it's already working better for me. For what it's worth, when I called Apple about it, both support techs I spoke to had experienced the issues as well. It seemed to be correlated with large inboxes and whether "All Mail" was enabled as an IMAP folder in Gmail's settings. It was generally recommended to not be enabled in 10.8 and lower, and is now recommended in 10.9+.

I've used Mail.app for my Gmail since Tiger and even now on 10.9 it works just as well.

It's unfortunate some people have problems, but even if it may seem so, they don't speak for all 10.9 users.

Hope your problems gets fixed soon.

I'm interested to know - before the 10.9 upgrade, did you have "All Mail" visible in IMAP in your Gmail label settings?

Also, about how many messages did you have in the inbox that worked?

I don't use "All Mail", I just use the "Inbox" at the top of the sidebar.
