Since I can't run a dedicated mail server and I want to be able to read mail from anywhere, I have to use imap/pop3 from some server I have no control over. So I use google's gmail. Then: -- Running imap with multiple mboxes (folders or whatever) did not work for me (only one of them was updated). -- Threading did not work properly. -- When something went wrong during 'sending' from acme Mail, I did not get any information that the mail had not been sent. So actually I always had to control sending an email from, say, gmail's web interface. (Or had to look manually into the logs.) That's a pretty bad behaviour. -- You can't easily search within all mail like you can using gmail (for anything in the body, withing given dates, from somebody, combinations, etc. -- I don't know how to correctly 'forward' an email from within acme Mail. -- the fact that gmail helps you to fill addresses when writing an email is extremely handy and useful. That's just a few things. [The worst I feel about www interface of gmail is the lack of a good editor (undo, formatting). Thus I often prepare the email in acme but then send it from gmail's interface.] Ruda
