Apple Mail and Mavericks Link

Apple Mail in Mavericks is having a bit of difficulty with Gmail1 but as the team from FastMail notes, that’s not the only problem with Mail.app.

Yes you read that right. It’s copying all the email from the Junk Folder back into the Junk Folder again!. This is legal IMAP, so our server proceeds to create a new copy of each message in the folder.

I’ve definitely noticed that Mail has become a resource hog. My fans run continuously when Mail is open. I’m betting this is the case with every email host beyond iCloud.
