Q: Mail rules not working...

This may explain things

Five iCloud email tricks you probably missed | Macworld

That does not explain things.  My rules have been working fine until today.  Now all of a sudden on my work gmail account the rules aren't moving the messages as they should.

It seems the move to a mailbox isn't working now with gmail.

User DISGUISE is off on an unrelated tangent.

There was no mention of iCloud and not everyone is using iCould and it is not the end all solution to everything.

Mavericks Mail Rules are not functioning properly.

Specifically the "Mark As Read" function is not working.

It was not working in Mountain Lion and has not been resolved in Mavericks.

Whether the Rule is set first or last or as the only Rule I am stil having to manually mark messsages as read.

Additionally - messages that I have opened and read are in fact still marked as UnRead.

Still having to manually mark items as read.

Things were very stable in Snow Leopard 10.6.x.

You would think a company with 40+ years of software development would manage to not break a stable piece of software.  Too much to expect I suppose.

I have a series of rultes to move unwanted emails from senders whom I dont know automatically to the Trash.  Up until the Mavericks update they worked fines, now they don't work at all, even if I create new ones.

what's up ?

Anyone who has found a better solution yet? I really miss this functionality I now have to do it myself every single day... Waste of time!

Guys — my suspicion is that this is a Gmail thing. Most rules running entirely with iCloud seem to be running fine, but Gmail rules are not. Anyone else notice this?

Unfortunately, that's not the case for me. I hardly use GMail at all. In my case any rule that I created for my multiple mail accounts prior to upgrading to Mavericks is fine. Any new rule I create does not work.

not the case for me I do not use Gmail at all.   My emaill all ,comes via Comcast.  Sorry.

ok... what about non-icloud mail accounts?

My mail is via GoDaddy. New rules (post-Mavericks) don't work.

I don't use iCloud based email either, everything comes in via Comcast.  Rules no longer work, new or old !

Not necessarily Gmail... I have the same problem with One.com and hotmail and...

What I did found out is that the problem doesn't exist when my Apple Mail is open on my iMac for instance, so when it is open the mails come in the right folders instantly. It's just that, from the moment I close the Apple Mail on my iMac or Macbook, it all starts going wrong again

Also having this trouble. It worked for a little bit but not anymore, or at least not consistantly... Not sure how to resolve.

Same problem here... simple Applescripts that mail launched just fine before the update now won't launch automatically.... if I click apply rules, they work just fine, I've made the modifications required for mavericks.

Now its the mail app that just doesn't want to launch the applescript from the "Run Applescript" rule that worked just fine before.... and which was very useful.

I am not using a gmail account with mail so it has nothing to do with that.
