This is a problem at Googles end as Windows users are having the same amount of trouble with gmail also. Google should stop fùcking around with its products and leave them alone. Here is a fix for Apple users.
1) Quit Mail.app.
2) Log into Gmail in your favorite web browser.
3) Click on the gear menu and select "Settings".
4) Click on the "Labels" tab.
5) Under "System Labels", next to "Drafts", click on "show if unread" and uncheck the "Show in IMAP' box.
Now disable "Store draft messages on the server":
6) Launch Mail.app.
7) Select Mail > Preferences...
8) Click on the "Accounts" button in the toolbar.
9) Click once on the account name and then click the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab.
10) Uncheck the "Store draft messages on the server" box.
11) Close the window and opt to save your changes when prompted.

Any suggestions on how to set up configuration in Gmail in order best work with Mail? I have the "All Mail" show on IMAP box checked. That's the only way to make the Archive button in Mail work properly, nevertheless, Mail will download a copy of every message in All Mail, even if it's been already downloaded under a Gmail Tag (which Mail interprets as a folder).
