- Gmail has an offline feature that you can get to from "settings". Doesn't support the latest Firefox though.
- I started using Gmail before they offered nested labels, so just got used to the approach of labeling messages as they come in (usually multiple labels and usually done automatically with the filters that I've set up). It's definitely a different way of organization than the traditional folder/subfolder/subsubfolder approach and I find it nice & flexible. —R On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 6:23 PM, Gary Schiltz <g...@naturesvisualarts.com>wrote: > I have been using Gmail for about 5 years now, and have found it to > interface very nicely via IMAP with Thunderbird, Mail.app, and my iPhone 3G. > As far as I know, Gmail does have a full IMAP interface.
