	I prefer POP3 with mutt.  If you take longer than 10 minutes to 
compose a reply using IMAP, mut crashes when Google drops your 
connection.  You can set your g-mail settings on the website to drop 
everything you've downloaded with POP3 to the trash.  I understand 
Google dumps the trash on a monthly basis, but I never let it stay full 
for long enough to find out. 

	I don't really bother saving mail any more and just jot down the 
occasional note from something here, like URLs.  I just hate the way 
Google has IMAP set up, like you said, and dropping everything into 
All-Mail.  Unfortunately, my cheap ISP elected to switch it's mail 
service over to G-Mail, and wrecked my ability to run a mail server like 
sendmail with multiple accounts.  I can receive just fine, but cannot 
send.  If I ever get out of the sticks and regain access to other ISPs, 
I will ditch Clearwire like yesterday's garbage.  I miss having Usenet 
access.
