Fetching from gmail

Yes, I use mutt to get gmail from two different accounts and I support
multiple folders on each of them.  The mutt setup is actually pretty
easy as I've used imap for some time on other systems prior to gmail.
The important thing to realize with gmail and IMAP is when deleting
unwanted messages, you need to copy them to '=Trash' (exclude the
quotes and realize that is capital T on Trash).  If you just delete
them like on standard IMAP systems and then expunge them with mutt's
'x' command, the Inbox label will be removed and the messages will end
up in your 'All Mail' folder forever! that happened to me for a long
time before I realized what was happening and I still have over 8,000
messages to eventually clear out on one of my accounts.

Otherwise, gmail with IMAP is quite cool.  I never use POP.
