I prefer POP3 with mutt. If you take longer than 10 minutes to compose a reply using IMAP, mut crashes when Google drops your connection. You can set your g-mail settings on the website to drop everything you've downloaded with POP3 to the trash. I understand Google dumps the trash on a monthly basis, but I never let it stay full for long enough to find out. I don't really bother saving mail any more and just jot down the occasional note from something here, like URLs. I just hate the way Google has IMAP set up, like you said, and dropping everything into All-Mail. Unfortunately, my cheap ISP elected to switch it's mail service over to G-Mail, and wrecked my ability to run a mail server like sendmail with multiple accounts. I can receive just fine, but cannot send. If I ever get out of the sticks and regain access to other ISPs, I will ditch Clearwire like yesterday's garbage. I miss having Usenet access. Michael
