There are instructions for optimal use of GMail with Apple Mail if you want to use imap. The advantage of iMap is that your tags in GMail will become folders in Apple Mail and the structure will be identical between the two systems so if you have a item tagged as Family in GMAIL it will show up in the GMAIL's subfolder called Family. It is quite cool .
There was also an extensive discussion on the tidbits.com comments lists about peoples experience with this and the advantages or disadavantages of imap. If anybody needs help with this you can contact me at AOL (ichat) of JonathanCCohn (with two C's) On Jul 28, 2009, at 5:23 AM, Kieren wrote: > > There are instructions on gmail for just this type of thing. > > one thing to note is that if you have multiple gmail accounts you must > setup a > separate smtp server with each accounts details or you will be able to > recieve > from all accounts but only send via the one you setup. > > I use Mail almost exclusively like this and have over 50 rules for > sorting my > various newsletters, post replys, family stuff and may others. > > Check the settings link then Forwarding POP & Imap tab. you have to > turn on pop to be able to use mail and there are config instructions > for that too. > I personally recommend "archive gmail's copy" after pop download this > way i can search my mail even if i'm not at my MBP. > > HTH > > Kieren > > On Jul 28, 11:02 am, Holly Anderson <ho...@thedividingline.com> wrote: >> Hi all.
