- google (gmail) just made it possible to use IMAP for retrieval of mail.
I use SuSE10.2/KDE3.5.8-release 22.3/Kmail 1.9.5
But when I set up a folder (I name it GOOGLEMAIL) and connects to my gmail
account using the IMAP protocol, Kmail fetches 119320 (!) headers. But I only
have around 40000 mails in my Gmail account (total including spam).
Funny.
Using fetchmail, gmail imap reports only the new emails (ie, 4 in my
case):
Jan 16 12:03:15 nimrodel fetchmail[25868]: IMAP> A0003 SELECT "INBOX"
Jan 16 12:03:15 nimrodel fetchmail[25868]: IMAP< * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged

Jan 16 12:03:15 nimrodel fetchmail[25868]: IMAP< A0003 OK [READ-WRITE] INBOX
selected. (Success)
and 4 is what it retrieves. Maybe kmail tries to get the headers of the
entire thing (124033?).
