How do I stop loading images in Junk mail folder in Mail.app 6.6 with Gmail I have setup Mail.app to use my Gmail account. Gmail has a spam filter that works excellent for me. But I sometimes check the Junk mailbox in Mail to see if something got there by accident.
When I go through the messages the images in those messages get loaded anyway as the message is placed by Gmail in the Spam folder (which is linked to the Junk mailbox) but Mail.app does not mark it as Junk and therefore loads the images.
If I manually mark the message as Junk, Mail stops loading the images.

How do I make Mail to mark the messages in Gmail's Spam folder to be marked as Junk, forcing it to not load the images?
You have to "map" the Gmail folders to match what happens in Mail.app.


Open Preferences in Mail.app
Go to Accounts and select your Gmail account
Click the "Advanced" tab
Enter [Gmail] (yes, with the brackets) into the 'IMAP Path Prefix' field
Close the window and Save changes to the Account.
