(That is, if you selected another mailbox and chose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For,
Furthermore, Mail forced you to use the default locations for Gmail’s Drafts, Sent, Junk, and Trash mailboxes. In other words, you were obligated to store Gmail drafts, sent, junk, and trash email on the server whether you wanted to or not. Gmail special mailboxes: In the first two releases of Mavericks, although you could uncheck the Store Draft Messages on the Server, Store Sent Messages on the Server, Store Junk Messages on the Server, or Move Deleted Messages to the Trash Mailbox checkboxes on the Mailbox Behaviors view of your Gmail account preferences, as soon as you reopened the Preferences window, you’d see that they were checked again.Now, in 10.9.2, we’re back to the more convenient Mountain Lion However, in 10.9.0 and 10.9.1, this convenience feature was gone when dragging a message to any unified mailbox, you had to expand it and select a specific account underneath. The same went for other unified mailboxes - Drafts, Sent, Junk, Trash, and Archive. Unified mailbox behavior: In 10.8 Mountain Lion and before, you could drag a message from any mailbox to the unified Inbox icon (which contains the Inboxes for all your accounts), and Mail would move it to the Inbox of the account where the message was stored - unless it was stored locally and thus not in any account, in which case it would be moved to the account shown first under the unified mailbox.So, take Apple’s list with a grain of salt. That all sounds encouraging, if not terribly clear.

As evidenced by the long list of comments on this article, plenty of people are still experiencing significant problems. I’ll begin with the usual disclaimers: not every problem has disappeared, and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Since those paragraphs will no longer be in the book, I wanted to report what I’ve found. But, to keep this in perspective: Mail is now at the point where it should have been when Mavericks was released. That meant I was able to delete quite a few paragraphs from my book detailing bugs and other infelicitous changes. I’m pleased to report that the new version of Mail in 10.9.2 (version 7.2, build 1874) is far better than its predecessors, about which I complained mightily in “ Mail in Mavericks Changes the Gmail Equation” (22 October 2013) and (to a slightly lesser extent) “ Mail in Mavericks: Is It Safe Yet?” (11 November 2013). But this time I had a tiny bit of luck: Apple’s 10.9.2 update (see “ 10.9.2 Fixes Critical SSL Security Bug, Adds FaceTime Audio,” 25 February 2014) was released hours before we planned to publish my new book, “ Take Control of Apple Mail,” and that gave me just enough time to revisit problems in previous versions of Mail and edit the manuscript to reflect the changes. It seems to happen like clockwork: I release a book about some Apple product or service, and within a week, Apple updates its offerings in such a way as to invalidate what I wrote. #1624: Important OS security updates, rescuing QuickTake 150 photos, AirTag alerts while traveling.#1625: Apple's "Far Out" event, the future of FileMaker, free NMUG membership, Quick Note and tags in Notes, Plex suffers data breach.#1626: AirTag replacement battery gotcha, Kindle Kids software flaws, iOS 12.5.6 security fix.#1627: iPhone 14 lineup, Apple Watch SE/Series 8/Ultra, new AirPods Pro, iOS 16 and watchOS 9 released, Steve Jobs Archive.#1628: iPhone 14 impressions, Dark Sky end-of-life, tales from Rogue Amoeba.
