Brian,
How about you try disabling your Gmail account temporarily while doing your project. Go
into Mail Prefs, select Accounts from the Toolbar, select your Gmail account from the
Accounts Table then uncheck the "Enable this Account" checkbox. Now, with your
Gmail account disabled, you should be able to do your work, receive Mail from other
accounts, and you can re-enable it when you need it again and it doesn't affect your
project.
Later...

Hey well I guess a clean install isn't going to happen today, as I am not sure
if I know how to boot from my external drive, might have to have a buddy who
knows more about computers help me with that. Plus I have to back everything
up. Just very frustrating to be dealing with something new every day. Sorry for
venting but hey you don't have to read it if you don't like it. Thanks to those
who have offered solutions. Another funny note is the last few days since I
have had these severe issues with mail open and running my Logictech solar
keyboard doesn't work, but if I quit mail the Logictech keyboard works fine,
very bizarre, and frustrating. And nope changing mail to check every 30 minutes
unfortunately didn't help as in the middle of this I got busy busy busy again.

Google "clean install of Mvericks" to get the exact steps, but the basic idea is you
download the installer from the App Store, run a terminal command once you plug in a properly
formatted drive, and wait. Once that is done, boot to that drive instead of your regular one, open
Disk Utility, completely wipe your Macintosh HD partition (not the entire hard drive) and then
close Disk Utility and select "install Mac OS 10.9 Mvericks". Once that installs, you're
done and can start restoring your data.
For today, have you considered closing Mail completely and operating off the
Basic HTML version of Gmail's website instead? If you do decide to switch mail
providers, you can always set up forwarding so you will keep getting your Gmail
messages, as others have suggested.

Even more hilarious now I can't even get this gmail account removed from my
computer as it keeps saying this account is connected to something. Not sure
what the hell it is talking about as I have removed it before, but now with the
mail issues I am having and trying to remove the account craps everything out.
What do I need to do a clean install? Do I just need to download Mavericks to
my external drive or do I need to create a bootable thing of some kind, don't
remember the steps and today things have gotten so bad and have restarted the
computer five times and it isn't fixing it, so considering I am on deadline for
an article to say I'm a little pissed off since I need to use gmail for this
article is an understatement. Thanks.

Well, like Alex suggested, you can create a new gmail account and just set it
up to forward your mail to it. This might be a little bit of a pain in the
neck, but it is a temporary solution you can reverse when the problems are
fixed.
Or, again, install ML on an external disk and use that solely for mail until
the next version of Mavericks, 10.9.2, is released. This is exactly why I
always keep a functioning version of the previous OS available on external
partitions. I have them going back to Snow Leopard, in fact.

Hey John,
Thanks for the suggestions. It definitely is a gmail and Mavericks issue as I
have removed gmail and then reinstalled it in to the Mac Mail. When gmail is
removed mac mail works fine. My issue is I can't switch from gmail to another
mail provider as I have people constantly contacting em through gmail. So not
sure what to do as I have heard from several people that doing a clean install
did not fix their gmail problem with mac mail. Considering this problem doesn't
happen every day tells me that it is a gmail and Apple Mavericks compatability
issue. What angers me to no end is I held off upgrading to Mavericks until
Apple claimed they fixed this issue in December so that is why I am so angry as
the days when Mac Mail and gmail don't cooperate I can't get a thing done. I
apologize for any misspelled words as mail is pausing so much as I type this
with busy busy messages. And like I said everything worked fine yesterday.

Hi Brian,
A few things here.
firstly, I understand frustrations and annoyances that get to someone at times.
However, remember to put things into perspective. I have had no issues like
your experiencing on any of my three Macs and the only couple of people I know
having mail issues have the common denominator as Gmail being part of the
problem. So, to say that you can't recommend Macs because of inconsistencies
is quite drastic. You are dealing with a situation that is either system
specific or gmail specific. That has little to do with the overall experience
of Mavericks most people are having. No, Mavericks isn't perfect, but it ain't
Windows Vista or Windows 8 either by any stretch.
Now, with that said, I would do one of 3 things.
1. If you have an external drive to play with, install a completely clean
version of Mavericks onto a blank partition. Then, set up your Gmail account
first and see how it runs. If it is all right, then try adding things to that
install and see what happens. If you find that that install runs in a stable
environment, then you probably want to do a clean install on your regular
system disk. If you still have problems, well guess what? It's not the Mac or
Mavericks, but, instead, is gmail or some configuration of gmail you have set
up.
2. If you don't have an external drive, you still might want to just do a clean
install anyway. I'm a big believer in clean installs for any new operating
system.
3. If the Mail is your biggest problem and suggestion 1 is either not possible
or just not practical with your schedule, as I know you are quite busy,, you
could install Mountain Lion on an external drive to do mail and then use
Mavericks to access Numbers and Pages.
The first alternative will give you the ability to mess with gmail, at least.

Yesterday everything worked fine, so today if I have mail open I can't use any
other programs on my computer or mail causes VoiceOver to be so choppy you
can't understand a thing. Switching from gmail is not an option as I have years
of mail messages archived, and everything worked fine on Mountain Lion. I don't
want to go back to Mountain Lion as I need to use Numbers for work and Numbers
had gotten unusable under Mountain Lion. What really pisses me off is some days
the computer works fine, and the next without being shut off or put to sleep it
is unusable. Even a restart doesn't fix the problems. Since starting to write
this message, I have been interrupted five times with busy busy errors. I have
spoken to Apple Accessibility and they know nothing. Not sure how in the world
Apple could have released Mavericks with these kinds of bugs and then claimed
they fixed everything. Just very frustrating. I have been a long time Apple boy
and suggesting them to everyone but will
never again suggest a Mac to anyone, as they used to be consistent and now are
as unreliable as a PC. Sorry just had to vent. And yes, I have run disk repairs
and still no fix. Who knows maybe tomorrow the computer will actually work, but
that doesn't help me get the assignment done that I need to get done today.
