Partly this can be solved by not exposing imap to internet, but ssh only. Then connect a tunnel to it to use imap inside. No, I have not done that, I have similar objections to yours.
I don't only use Linux. I access my email from Macs, Windows, Android, iOS, Haiku, RISC OS and in theory though I think that I haven't tried it yet, from A2/Bluebottle. They don't all do SSH. And if they did, it still means exposing ssh to the internet...
Ah! Ok. Yes, you are right, I see them in Thunderbird. I forgot. I only have two tags, an old experiment.
Ah. I have about 100 and about 200-250 filtering rules.
Of course, it may be possible, with a good sync client, to finish the sync eventually, and from then on, only sync the changed stuff "faster". Would that work with google? I don't know.
It doesn't seem to with T'bird or with Apple Mail. :-( I would prefer to keep it in T'bird as I also have my email archive from 1995-2004 in T'bird. That is when I switched over to Gmail. Not entirely and not instantly, but it was so much better than trying to keep T'bird in sync across >1 machine running >1 OS. 2004 is also when I switched from SUSE to Ubuntu, as it happens, although later than that I switched again to Mac OS X.
imapsync on local network only is slow...
Ah. :-(
I use Gmail to consolidate all my other accounts. Currently, it collects from my 28-year-old CIX account, my 23-year-old Hotmail and AOL accounts, and my I-can't-remember-but-old Yahoo account.
Oh!
Yes. It contains about 6-7 GiB of mail.
Now, here comes "dictation". Ie, speak my letter. It works fairly well if I do in Spanish, but sometimes horribly in English. Sometimes, probably due to my accent, it gets out of sync and what it writes is absurd, to say the least.
It may write a correct paragraph with a huge single word mistake in the middle that changes the meaning of the paragraph. Being one word, I don't notice it... till after sending.
However... Google dictation is way ahead of Linux dictation.
I tried this in July/August last year when I could not use my left hand for a couple of months following shoulder surgery. It worked, but not well. I was still quicker with 1 hand. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
