I'm using a gmail account, but I'm using kmail to manage my mail. So, the timestamps and whatnot are going to depend on my system settings. I like knode (KDE's newsgroup reader) overall, but I stopped using it because I had no way of syncing between machines without copying all of knode's files over every time, which is not pleasant. Using gmail/kmail with IMAP allows for keeping things in sync. Unfortunately, since gmail never sends you messages from the list that you sent to it, it doesn't really work properly to send messages which reply to your own messages, and kmail threads replies to my messages poorly (usually associating them with the message that I responded to). So, I'd prefer to use knode, but the lack of syncing was too painful. I suppose that it would work better if I used a non-gmail account though. I wouldn't know what to use though, since I'd want free IMAP support. And another provider would use proper folders rather than the annoying labels which mail programs like kmail don't deal with quite properly. So maybe I should think of finding a better e-mail provider than gmail... - Jonathan M Davis
