I meant what I said about them gmail being a client. I agree that they are also an email service, and it's true that you can access the gmail mail service with imap, but I don't think it's as popular as their web interface. To be fair, I don't have any verifiable sources for that claim. But, doing so loses some of the best features of gmail (google search on your inbox, google chat, conversation view, etc.) Yes, I know that lots of email clients have conversation view and search, but for comparison, searching my ~12GB of mail on Thunderbird takes a lot longer and is a lot clunkier of an interface than the nearly instant search using gmail's web interface. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iF4EAREIAAYFAlUUZ30ACgkQa46zoGXPuqntbAD7BQusaURejvYPdajyOzR/BrxF CG+rkTHyh4G9ild9mQkA/i1RmkvW1jLilAzW2wgm9CtFgXdaOV6eTHfWUsAtiwwy =gmpG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
