HOLY MOLY. Thanks, Jim!!! Yes, a single folder was offline! I can’t believe I didn’t think to check.

I have a very old feature request to have some indicators in the top-level “Sources” menu that make it obvious if a mailbox/account has gone offline… I think this issue gets me about once a year, but it has always been with my company’s exchange server, not Gmail, so it didn’t even occur to me…

THANK SO MUCH. Z

Avi,

I experienced something very similar. I was reading and deleting emails from my Gmail inbox in MailMate but the messages remained in the Inbox, marked as read, when viewed in the Gmail web app. What I hadn't noticed was that my Gmail Trash mailbox was offline (just that one mailbox)! After Synchronizing the Trash, my mailboxes started operating as expected again.

I hope the solution to your issue is as easy.

Avi,

I use a single Gmail account which has the current G-Server running on it (recently updated paid account), though it has long been in existence previously as a free account. In either case, I have not had this issue.

MM v6292 is working with Gmail and all other source accounts (iCloud, commercial cPanel Linux servers, M’soft, Yahoo).

Account Synopsis:

• I use a smart mail box to regularly process junk mail from Inbox to Junk (SpamSieve), use a (MM) filter to delete junk and another filter to purge that deleted email from the Deleted folder. The deleted folder is purged from a single (Drone) computer on a thirty day interval. All seems to be working here. • The Inbox on each account is cleared as soon as possible from spam. The remainder is processed by any device regularly. • Sent Folder is moved to Archive every 15 days with a dedicated filter for several accounts. • My junk in Gmail is very manageable, perhaps because of low usage incoming to me, luckily. I use no server filters wherever possible. Not so lucky on spam with the other source accounts with heavier usage, but I believe the combo of MM + SpamSieve keeps up pretty well. There are 35 messages in my Gmail 2026 Archive file in this account, 7 messages in my Sent folder. • Right now, no major issues on all. At this time, there are 15 emails queued to delete and nothing in my inbox. Thanks to MM and other working clients, email is a valuable tool for me. • My system: MailMate/6292/8E0C2B09-5E7C-51C0-A74E-30C066DF8C4A 26.4.0/arm64/Mac16,5/14
Respectfully,

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has run into the following behavior, or can think of why it is happening.

Basically, it seems like MM is not moving Gmail inbox messages to the trash, and not changing their read status. I know that the MM/Gmail interaction is tweaked insofar as tags are concerned, but my setup has worked for years, but something changed in February.

The flow is this: a message comes into the Inbox. It is matches certain criteria, it is deleted (using the “Delete”) action in the rules, and then a tag is added to it; say, “Marketing”. I am *not* subscribed to the “Marketing” folder in my gmail account from the MM side, since I want the tags to show *as tags* (for reason irrelevant here). The message remain unread, and I see it in a MM smart mailbox defined by the “Marketing” tag. (I’m not sure why it is deleted first and then tagged, as opposed to tagged and deleted; I set this up ages ago and remember having a reason, but I don’t remember what).

This all looks perfectly fine from the MM side — the message’s source mailbox shows as Gmail/Trash and it is tagged properly. But the message is not actually moved to the Trash folder in Gmail, and, even after it is read in MM, remains as unread in Gmail. If I flag it, it does not become flagged in Gmail. However, if I flag it in Gmail, it becomes flagged in MM; but if I then unflag it, it does not unflag in Gmail.

I don’t think this is related to an update in MM, since the timestamp on my MM app is from October, and the issue seems to have started in February. But I’m using the 6290 version.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Zvi
