Be that as it may, the way Mail in Mavericks handles Gmail accounts is so much different from Mail in earlier versions of Mac OS X that, for all practical purposes, those 21 steps to “bliss” are now irrelevant. In later updates, Apple fixed a number of bugs so that people who had changed their Gmail settings in the way I suggested wouldn’t suffer (much). When Mavericks was first released, Mail had some appalling bugs that made Gmail almost completely unusable for anyone who had followed (which, remember, were previously the way to prevent misbehavior). If you’re running Mavericks, please do not follow these instructions! My latest advice for dealing with Gmail in Mail can be found in “ Take Control of Apple Mail.” Quoting from that book: [Note: With the release of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, this article is completely out of date. #1641: LastPass breached, Live Text aids recipe input, fix for failed MobileDeviceUpdater installs.#1642: How to identify phishing attacks, new iPhone and iPad passcode requirements.
