[QUOTE="davepalmerinc, post: 1681767, member: 361953"] Since I upgraded to El Capitan, my Apple Mail is doing two very strange things: 1) It has loaded every bit of past mail that I have into my Inbox. So now, instead of a manageable amount of mail there, and the rest put into organized folders, I have 46k+ messages clogging things up. It seems to have something to do with my Gmail account (I manage several email accounts in Apple Mail). The people at the Genius Bar had no idea other than acknowledging an Apple/Google fight. But this happened only when I installed El Capitan, so chasing my Gmail settings hasn’t helped - this seems like an Apple problem. 2) It has started to not let me delete certain messages. There’s no pattern, but when I try to delete some emails, the messages stay there, though they turn from a solid black to gray font, as though they know they’ve been marked for something, but aren’t going anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
