(It would be nice if there was an option to only download recent messages in the initial setup dialog as I suspect that many gmail users have this problem.)<BR/><BR/>Ideally I'd like to be able to just download<BR/>full message bodies for email that matches<BR/>a set of labels/folders but download nothing<BR/>or headers only for other labels/folders.<BR/>(My usage would be occasional offline reading of recent messages while on the subway and thus I don't need all old messages.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for letting us try this out! I look forward to trying future versions.<BR/>I wish I could get further to provide more feedback.<BR/><BR/>(I read all of my work/non-personal-non-gmail mail in "emacs mh-e" so I may not be a normal user, either. ;-)<BR/><BR/>As to your RSS comment, it would be nifty if Google Reader provided an IMAP interface.nygrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770028440587495325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304267073920548108.post-50722060567298943762007-12-18T01:56:00.000+02:002007-12-18T01:56:00.000+02:00Yes!
