It would probably be uneventful, except that I would fill up my gmail accounts pretty quickly. So in that way, it's only a fork bomb for my own accounts and stops when they fill up. > Google mail runs beefy servers, so I imagine it would be a tiny > blip on the radar before you > fill up your X GB with junk. 2.7 GB as of yesterday.

Unfortunately, I don't see how marking messages can be automated. I have to go screen by screen.
