Thanks very much for this posting – it resolved my problem with Gmail / Apple Mail continual non-stop loop!

It should be…

/Library/Mail/IMAP-john.doe@imap.gmail.com/.OfflineCache

/Library/Mail/IMAP-john.doe@gmail.com/.OfflineCache

or maybe even…

/Library/Mail/IMAP-john.doe@gmail/.OfflineCache

Thanks for helping to tackle this problem. I’ve tried:

2.) In Finder, click “Go” -> “Go to Folder.” Type the following folder path (replacing with your GMail User Name): ~/Library/Mail/IMAP–/.OfflineCache

But i can’t seem to find any folder. Let’s pretend my Gmail username was “john.doe” … should this be my search:

john.doe): ~/Library/Mail/IMAP–/.OfflineCache
or
john.doe: ~/Library/Mail/IMAP–/.OfflineCache
or
something else?

THANKSdw

The second method or “hard way” is extremely easy and worked great! I am glad I found this tip as Mail became usless after I accidentally tried to send a 21 mb attachment. Really hope apple fixes this soon. Thanks again!
