I've never used pop features for my gmail before because I was holding
out for IMAP. Now, I'm glad its finally here. The big reason I'm
excited abuot this is because I believe that IMAP will let me drag and
drop out of my local computer mail and into the gmail web server. so
now I can keep all my local mail online and delete it off my comp.
