This works on both Tiger and Leopard. I know this only applies to Gmail users, but a lot of people are using Gmail and this will greatly improve the way Mail handles your emails. I really liked .Mac Mail when I first started using it and the reason is that it syncs in a much better way than Gmail. If you use both the web and the Mail interface with your Gmail account, you probably often receive an email you just created on another interface in your inbox. It is terribly annoying. The main reason is that this is with POP. .Mac uses IMAP which works much better in this case. The great news is that Google added IMAP support to Gmail. That was a few months ago. The only problem is that the Leopard version of Mail automatically sets up your Gmail account using POP. Here is how you can avoid this and get the advantages of IMAP:

1. Add your account to Mail while making sure you uncheck "Automatically set up account".2. Choose IMAP and follow these instructions provided by Google to set it up as IMAP.

This is an awesome tip. I set my gmail account up in mail a while ago as a .pop How can i change it to an .imap??

Comments:

Unfortunately, you'll have to delete all mails from pop and create a new account in Mail, this time using imap. also beware: it takes some getting used to, Gmail through imap works different from other imap-mailproviders. Check out the Google help pages before starting the 'migration'. Good luck!

So i'd really like to make the switch but not keen on the idea of losing all my mail. So I have the program Mozy, which does an auto backup of my mail so what i'm wondering is, if i delete my acount, and then try and switch it, will mozy let me restore all those messages. Anyone happen to know?

Thanks

i switched and had to go back to POP :( because mail.app was trying to download ALL the emails I've stored over the years in my gmail account! and it kept freezing...

any ideas?

Here is an important step:

When configuring the IMAP Gmail account make sure to look for an option that stores your inbox "on the server". Otherwise Mail will download all of the Gmail inbox to the local drive

This may sound like a dumb question, but what is the difference if your gmail account is imap or pop? Is there any true benefit?
