Fetching from gmail

Actually, I've had a lot less trouble with gmail dropping connections
lately.  In fact here at home, I think it has only happened a couple
times in the past 5 months or so.  I recall setting a variable in
.muttrc to keep the connection alive for a longer period; forget the
name off the top of my head right now.  Also, if IMAP is used, you can
leave the stuff in Trash and it will get purged periodically without
any efforts on our part.
