But the Gmail interface is the same as all other IMAP mail servers, so
why is it singles out. When you configure a new account and it's Gmail
using IMPA (don't know if they do POP3 any more), it looks like Verizon,
or AT&T, or any other server. I can't see why Gmail is singled out.


GMail does indeed offer both POP3 and IMAP for use in mail clients.

I think that is the misunderstanding. The webmail interface for GMail is charitably described as "clunky". I would describe it as unusable.

No, I have had to use it once or twice on the road, and clunky it is. But why would anyone do that with SM? Using Gmail from the browser interface is just the wrong thing to do. :-(

The only reason I can use GMail is to use it in SeaMonkey Mail/News as an IMAP account. There it behaves just like any other IMAP account.

The POP version also behaves like any other POP account.

I think we are comaring the Web interface with the Mail client interface.
