Doesn't that support GP's argument? Seems like they really don't want anyone to use it, since the beginning.

  The Gmail concepts do not really map very well to IMAP and traditional mail clients. They do provide a custom API that does mirror their semantic for that.

    Not today, I agree. It was just an ordinary email up until a few years ago though.

      Gmail's labels have always been an arse to map on to normal IMAP-based email.

  The replacement API that GMail offers (which reflects their different approach) is open and free to use, so it's not really an issue, as third-party apps can support it. And many, in fact, do. That's not the case for YouTube, though, which is exactly why it's a problem when GMail isn't.
