设置的技巧

利用Apple Mail收发之后，在Gmail的账户中会出现几个不必要的标签，例如apple mail to do, mail/trash之类的。只要在Apple Mail中，展开Gmail的文件夹，然后在Gmail文件夹上通过Mailbox菜单选择Use this mailbox For，例如Drafts文件夹作为Drafts使用，以此类推，依次设置好Spam（作为Junk使用）, Sent, 和Trash文件夹。

Recommended IMAP client settings

Sending:

• Do NOT save sent messages on the server. If your client is sending mail through Gmail's SMTP server, your sent messages will be automatically copied to the [Gmail]/Sent Mail folder.
• DO save draft messages on the server. If you want your drafts in your mail client to sync correctly with Gmail's web interface, set your client to save drafts to the [Gmail]/Drafts folder.

Deleting:

• Do NOT save deleted messages on the server. Messages that are deleted from an IMAP folder (except for those in [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash) only have that label removed and still exist in All Mail. Hence, your client doesn't need to store an extra copy of a deleted message.
• Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/Trash folder because this will delete a message in all folders.
• Do NOT save deleted messages to your [Gmail]/All Mail folder as some clients will try to empty this folder and ultimately fail. This can lead to delayed mail access or excessive battery consumption on a mobile device.

Junk mail and spam:

• Do NOT enable your client's junk mail filters. Gmail's spam filters also work in your IMAP client, and we recommend turning off any additional anti-spam or junk mail filters within your client. Your client's filter will attempt to download and classify all of your existing messages, which may slow down your client until the process is complete.

From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors

Drafts:
Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check

Sent:
Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check

Junk:
Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never

Trash:
Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check

如何管理标签（Labels）

标签在Gmail中是一个非常有用的工具，特别是每天频繁收发邮件，而且懒得管理对话的用户。
添加标签：直接拖拽邮件到文件夹即相当于Gmail web页面中的添加标签，然后你可以使用复制黏贴邮件的方法到第二个文件夹达到添加多重标签的效果。（注意这里必须得用复制黏贴设置第二个标签，因为如果继续使用拖拽的办法相当于将邮件移动到另一个文件夹） 复制粘贴之后，你在web界面下查看，并不会看到两份一样的邮件，而是一封用两个标签标示着的邮件。
删除标签：删除标签只需在相应的文件夹下删除邮件即可。注意，如果你删除一封带有多重标签属性的邮件，它会在所有文件夹中消失，为了避免误操作，请善用（command-z）

如何利用Apple Mail管理多重账户

实际上利用Apple Mail管理多重账户相当简单，你只需在设置邮箱的向导中，在邮箱地址一栏填写多个Gmail地址，并用逗号分隔开即可。
