I'm on dial-up and gmail doesn't like my slow connection.  I get at
least one error pop up on every page.  This is not a option for me at least.

I looked into IMAP a couple times and didn't like that either.  I use
folders and sort my mail that way.  I have a folder for each gentoo
mailing list I subscribe to, my friends, companies I do business with. 
My filters sort them as they come in.  It works and I like it this way.

I have not tried the BCC option.  I'm about to try that now tho.  ;-)

I have searched the net, asked on this list a while back and nothing
disabled the spam filter on google.  I tried several different ways but
none of them stops google from marking them as spam.  I think they know
people are trying to disable it and they adjust to make it not work. 

I like gmail but those two things, spam filter and not getting copies
back, are really irritating.

I do wish there was a way for me to fix this tho.
