Version of OS X? The way Mail has handled GMail accounts has changed over the 
versions.

Is Gmail set to be accessed as an IMAP account? <<<This is the big one

GMail lets you select folders to NOT synch with desktop clients, this might be 
the issue with your spam folder.

Hi there: In the past month or so, I've begun having some problems with Mail 
and its interaction with my Gmail account:

  *   When I launch Mail, it brings in the messages from Gmail as usual but 
after I open them or delete them, they don't get marked as opened or deleted in 
the Gmail web interface. If I select the "unread" ones there and mark them as 
read, they switch back to unread the next time I go in. Mail will show them as 
read, but the web interface doesn't. This only applies to messages received on 
or after the 4th of August.
  *   The items in the Spam folder in the web interface don't get brought 
across to Mail at all (with very few exceptions). Not that I care so much about 
my spam collection, but I want to see what's there in case something got 
flagged that shouldn't have.
  *   Some messages, but not all, refuse to display their content when I open 
them in Mail--I just get the header and a blank screen, so I have no idea what 
they contain. Occasionally if I close and reopen them repeatedly the content 
eventually appears, but not very often. They display fine in the web interface, 
just not in Mail.

The web interface issues apply regardless of whether I use Chrome or Safari.

Any ideas will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
