I agree with you, Ricardo. I'm not generally one to cut Apple or any other big company much slack when it comes to buggy software releases. But in this case, the article that somebody posted a few days ago about this Gmail problem indicates that the real problem is with Gmail, because it does not do things in the standard manner. Apple made an attempt to improve how it works with this nonstandard implementation by Gmail, and it's not working out so well. What I wonder is if there is any way to move a whole lot of messages that I have stored in Gmail to another provider, such as Apple. I do have an iCloud email account, and it works quite well. Now that I have mountain lion and have access to my iCloud mail on the Mac as well as the iPhone and iPad, I would be perfectly happy to dump Gmail. It is a pain on the web, so good riddance. But I do have a great lot of messages stored in various folders there, and moving all that over would be a major pain I fear. Mary
