IMAP-ing Your Gmail

Thursday, October 25, 2007 | comments (2)
I've been waiting for Gmail to enable IMAP connectivity and it's finally here. There are still some things to work out, though, like the imperfect way "labels" get handled (by placing messages in multiple folders). I'm definitely not ready to give up on using the Google web client just yet. But this article gives some excellent guidance on configuring Apple Mail for IMAP-ing to Gmail, if you're interested. Be sure to read through the comments, as there are some extra pearls of wisdom in there.

No. I like using the Web client, for now. But I'm glad things are heading in this direction.

I'm struggling with a bit of the sleepiness this morning. Maybe because I took an allergy pill a couple of hours ago. Those things kind of put me out. Even the non-drowsy varieties. Especially the non-drowsy varieties. But the itchy scratchy eyes, the peppery nose, the sneezing at regular intervals . . . well, it finally got the best of me. And it was worth dealing with a bit of the sleepy to stop the madness. I don't know what it is that's wreaking havoc on my head, but man I want to shake it's hand for a job well done.

I intended this post to be a somewhat thoughtful reflection on the past year, and possibly a statement of resolutions for the coming one.

I'm surely one of those.
