Apple mail does not sync with gMail

Today my Apple Mail no longer provides me with my gMail in the inbox.

I can send mail to my gMail address and it shows in the Sent box ...but it never makes it to my Inbox.

If I log directly into Google Mail the email message is there.

This has always worked before.

Also, just now I downloaded and installed the Apple update for Mail ...which said it fixes some gMail account issues ..but I still have the problem.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

My Apple Mail is still working fine ever since I fixed it on Jan 29 with this method:


Called Apple and the tech (Jamie Dear - jamied@apple.com) gave me these instructions (for Gmail IMAP users only):


Hold down the option key and go to Go > Library > Mail and rename the Mail folder Mail.old


Again, hold down the option key and go to Go > Library > Containers > com.apple.mail and rename that folder com.apple.mail.old


And again, hold down the option key and go to Go > Library > Containers > com.apple.MailServiceAgent and rename that folder com.apple.MailServiceAgent.old


In Mail, recreate your email account.
