Well, while we want Letters.app to be an _IMAP_ client, I think we can provide a much better UX if we offer a secondary account type for Gmail, which will inherit from the IMAP account, but include some customizations which will abstract away some of Gmail's idiosyncrasies. Of course, that begs the question: are we abstracting to make Gmail more IMAP-like, or to make IMAP more Gmail-like in that case? I lean towards the former, make Gmail behave like a good IMAP server. For 2.0, we might give users the option. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
