Which is an issue with Gmail, I think. |

Pine seems to work. Are you using filters and so forth on your gmail |
| 19 |
page? Google is philosophically opposed, apparently, to directories, so |
| 20 |
the way in which messages are stored by google is different, of course, |
| 21 |
from how they're stored with whichever client you POP your messages with, |
| 22 |
which will use directories. |

There are weird behaviors, I believe, when first setting up POP3 with |
| 25 |
google, in that not all the messages are grabbed. However, after that |
| 26 |
initial weirdness it's consistent, to my knowledge. |

You can check (google) the archives for comp.mail.pine, and probably other |
| 29 |
groups, about gmail weirdness, historically, at least. It might be better |
| 30 |
now. |
