I too read this list from Gmail. And any filters I have created via the web interface of Gmail are honored (the messages appear in the proper folders).
But sometimes accessing messages from web interface breaks the threads and it looks obstinate...
I set my Gmail account to use Imap, and disable pop. This way all the mail is available on all devices I might use to read it, and it does not take up space on my computer.
That's fine. But in my case, I have to see only from the computer and that's why installed KMail...in KDE...becaue of the common K-factor!
Therefore I can switch from Kmail to Thunderbird or use my android, and I get a consistent view of the mail, a message marked read in one device shows up as read in all devices and programs.
Yeah, that seems the property of IMAP...fine.
Better yet, there is no significant amount of local storage consumed on my machine, its all on the server. And I don't have to backup the mail.
This I liked...So you mean I should use IMAP in KMail?
(Unless you have a particular aversion to leaving mail on google's servers, this is a great way to read non-sensitive email such as this mailing list.).
It won't ever breaks any thread?
If you STARTED using Gmail via POP, gmail may not have any history for you on file, and any local caches on your machine may be all you have as backup and you would be well advised to save them before wiping your machine.
Okay, for POP you say this...But there is one option which I saw even in POP which says "Keep a copy on the server"..Then what doest that do...? -- Regards, AP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
