I have mine going into local boxes actually. Otherwise the gmail server is more likely to fill up it's just sub decided thats all, so they go into local boxes created in the "on my Mac" category. Then anything important I save also as a document. Have a fold for mails such as that and added it to sidebar, so can just choose that in the pop up menu during the save as process. Glad Apple mail has improved that over the years
And yes my gmail is set up as imap seems to be a little smoother that way since last summer. Before that I had it as pop 3.
