One of the things that you need to be aware of with Google and IMAP is that all of the actual "physical" e-mails are stored in the "All Mail" folder. Everything else is a 'tag', or essentially a virtual folder. Even the Trash folder is a tag. You may notice that when moving mail to Trash, it is still in All Mail, though this may depend upon your specific config. You might want to watch how the e-mails behave on the GMail web site as you act upon mails in GNUS. Gmail recommends 'marking' e-mails as deleted, but not actually deleting them from the server. I use GNUS here for usenet, but not for e-mail. I have been using Google's IMAP for a few weeks now, as I recently got a Samsung Blackjack II phone and wanted to be able to get e-mail on my phone and laptop without the POP related loss of synchronization. Although there are some issues with Gmail IMAP and HTML e-mails not displaying in the phone's client, it generally functions well. I have the phone synching with my corporate e-mail server (Zimbra running on RHEL) via IMAP as well and that works nicely. I had been using Evolution for e-mail (on RH/Fedora) for a number of years and made the transition to Thunderbird recently, as Evo's IMAP is hopelessly broken. There is a page here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12913 that has config information and you can get a feel for how various clients are set up. Even the config in Thunderbird needs to be just right to get it to act properly and map functionality to Gmail's structure.
