Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to correctly configure Apple Mail (Leopard) with Gmail IMAP so that you don’t have to keep a duplicate of all emails from the “All Mail” folder on my local drive? Basically, when Mail syncs, it downloads all messages, then it downloads them again because they reside in the “All Mail” folder in Gmail’s web interface. Any suggestions would be appreciated as this takes up twice the amount of space that it should. Thank you for your help.
 
You can turn it off via accounts>>advanced tab in mail

if you turn it off, mail will only grab the headers and not the whole message
