Dec 27, 2013 1:42 PM in response to Allan142by dianeoforegon,Mail in Mavericks had had some issues with Gmail account. 10.9.1 fixed some of these but users are still reporting odd issues.
Often the fix in Mavericks is to remove an account then add back. However, since the settings in your Gmail account are also part of setting up Gmail, you first need to check your settings in your browser.
In your browser, log into your Gmail account.
Under Settings > Labels, do you see either [IMAP] or [Gmail]/ in front of the folder name? Is it checked to show in IMAP?
Also under Labels, do you have the All Mail folder checked to sync? In the past, many users selected not to sync this folder, but in Mavericks Mail, it needs to be enabled.
In Mail.....
Remove your Gmail IMAP account. This will remove all the messages from the account but they will still be on the server.
Add the Gmail account back to Mail.
You might want to add a root folder before connecting Mail to the server. If you add after folders download, you need to synchronize the account to refresh folder list.
Mail > Accounts > Gmail account > Advanced - Try entering [Gmail] as root.
No root folder:
With [Gmail] as root:

Dec 28, 2013 4:25 PM in response to dianeoforegonby dianeoforegon,I decided to test Mavericks Mail with a new Gmail account today.It seems that all the workarounds we used prior to Mavericks are no longer needed. No root folder required. No prefix [Gmail]/ for folders.
I no longer had to assign folders ["Use this folder for Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash"]. When I delete a message it actually goes to Trash not to All Mail.
Be sure to check All Mail folder.
Mail created a folder under Archive for my Gmail account:

Dec 29, 2013 2:27 PM in response to Allan142by Allan142,Unfortunately, none of Diane's suggestions and actions were helpful to me -- least of all the repeated pictures of a bunch of iPhoto radio buttons.
I "fixed" the Mail problem by deleting my Google internet account in "System Preferences," "Internet Accounts" and setting it up again. Deleting the account in Mail and setting it up again didn't help.
All in all not a very confidence-inspiring set-up, Apple!
