- bostonvaulter2 16y agoDoes that setup handle gmail's concept of labeling? Such as archiving messages?
- tvon 16y agoAs I understand it, IMAP is bolted on to gmail so labeling is never quite right in any client.

If you delete a message from the inbox, then it gets archived. If you move it to [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash and then delete it, then it will really delete it.

- rue 16y agoTangentially, http://sup.rubyforge.org http://sup.rubyforge.org implements a GMail-like interface, full-text search and such but works with (essentially) any source.
- badwetter 16y agoOf course that should be mutt + gmail. One doesn't need to use an IMAP app, mutt has this built in now. It's pretty good.

- rphillips 16y agoI have found gmail's IMAP service to be slow (only fetching 100 headers at a time). Perhaps others have had a better experience.
