It would've been clearer to have advised using another mail application, period, if the OP didn't trust Gmail. But the manner in which you phrased your advice implied that Gmail was a "web application" that didn't support IMAP, which is false, so I piped up (or is it in?) in my admittedly somewhat oblique (to the matter at hand) manner. But no harm, no foul, and all is well. The only real mystery is how Tomas resisted getting yet another lick in against Gmail and Google, et al. --
