Hans Across The Interwebs

As excited as I was about IMAP Gmail, it’s turned out to be a big disappointment so far. I’m sure it’ll be fixed at some point, but for now it’s nothing but crashes on mail.app (OSX). An email I was composing got sent out at least five times in varying states of composition and I don’t understand for the life of me why.

Besides that, it’s slow as molasses. My IMAP services as fastmail is much faster.

I only downloads my sent email from 2005 and 2006. Nothing recent here, yet it’s stopped updating.

For now I’d recommend not using IMAP Gmail until these kinks have been ironed out.
