Remove Gmail's All Mail folder in Mail from Spotlight index
Another way to remove the messages from GMails [All Mail] folder out of Mail.app would be to:
1. Close Mail.app and make sure it's not running anymore. 2. Open the Terminal/iTerm 3. Navigate to (using the 'cd' command)
(replace the the values in the brackets with your personal data)
4. In this directory you will find a folder called (use 'ls -alhG' command):
5. Delete
or move
this folder. The folder should exist beforehand. Create it with Finder.6. Create an empty file with the same name
7. Start Mail.appNow the All Mail folder should be empty and will not be synchronized by Mail in future. This works for me since last year December and I'm happy with it. Use this guide at your own risk. Be careful when deleting things in the terminal. Always double check what you are doing! Hope That Helps.

Or, more accurately in my case:
Remove Gmail's All Mail folder in Mail from Spotlight index
Instead of touch or ln -s to /dev/null
I copied the emptied Trash folder (Empty it in Mail.app first) as All Mail and chmod it to be read only. first,
rm -fr "All Mail.imapmbox" or back it up then
cp -R Trash.imapmbox "All Mail.imapmbox"This prevent Mail.app from crashing when performing the search. |
