[QUOTE="michelangelo, post: 1944695, member: 54225"] It took a week but it worked. Credit for this turnaround is due to joe kissel's book; Thanks Randy for the suggestion. Indeed, I rebuilt many mailboxes and re-created the special mailboxes on the "Favorites" top portion. Old archives should not be kept in sync to avoid the new download of all messages contained in the rebuilt mailboxes. I fixed a good part of that. Gmail cannot be the main tool in a client-based environment like my macs. Gmail is essentially server-based and its indexing method is different from the one used by Apple (which is centered on the client). My old pre-imap mail actions were cause for errors. I deleted them all. I reduced from 14 to 4 the number of mailboxes, which simplifies everything, including, for Mail, the time it takes to perform all required authentication steps. I will reduce the number of mailboxes and use more smart mailboxes (which are aliases). When stabilized, I will resume using mail actions: initially server-side. I will revert to the old habit of autofiling mailing-lists' emails on receipt and program a smart mailbox to work like an autofile log to allow me read them with some delay and mark them as read. Thanks, again. [/QUOTE]
