Thank you, so I'm not that out of date. I like my Mac mail client
much for what you said. The web site is loading all the garbage. My
email client isn't. Plus you have to click all around on a web based
email to get it to do anything. If you have 10 or 15 emails that's no
big thing. But
That sounds counter-intuitive... like you had a corrupt email client or
something...
Clients would always be technically faster than any kind of web
service... and your webmail would be operating over the same DSL line to
boot.

Yes, after you confirm that each one is valid, gmail happily forges
the From: headers.

POP is faster because it doesn't have to do folder sync ... it just

less to do so it happens faster.

only to retrieve messages from mailboxes,

As I understand it, you're using Gmail as an authorized relay. It will also
insert on behalf of x...@gmail.com into the sending header to keep it
kosher. At least that what Gmail did for me when I was using the

Correct. Very handy for those of us with multiple businesses. This
works great for replies; the only problem occurs when I compose a new
email and forget to select the proper From addy. Then it goes out as
my default x...@gmail.com, but so far no recipient has seemed too shocked
by it.

Clearly you're confusing gmail's threaded view with Outlook's old

Maybe *your* DSL is horrid, but it is technically a superior way to
deliver data. Maybe you need to get something fixed?
There are different speeds/ price ranges of DSL usually available and it
is possible that something only needs to be fixed/ repaired with yours.
DSL isn't necessarily slower than cable.
Also I am confused about why moving your mail to the web would have
improved the horrid connection
I haven't used it that way yet ...as an authorized relay but I guess
that's what I am considering.
Before doing so, I am researching possible issues that might arise if I

addresses forwarded to it.

Technically superior on paper means zip in real life. DSL's highest

I stick to the actual facts of what I got with cable and what I get with
DSL. I don't really care about caps when DSL is so slow, the caps are built
in. What you claim about cable being old tech is ridiculous. DSL runs over
copper lines installed decades ago, cable hasn't been around that long.

When I was using gmail as my SMTP server for my Treo, it would do that.
They may have changed it in the couple years since then.
No. Be careful, there are a lot of people throwing random crap in this
thread. Nobody's changing Subjects.

I know that if you set up a new Google Email account with various

second, when you connect for the first time your Labeled Google mail

the labels. All

I suppose you could mail yourself a big text file. Personally, I just
kept the old client around a while until I was sure I didn't need it
(but obviously I disabled the automatic mail checking). After a few
months the older emails are of no interest except archival.

Once you're using gmail, there's no need for this Mail Fetcher, as you
should just *forward* all your other accounts to gmail.

I don't like how Gmail organizes everything by thread, with no option to
instead organize messages by time received.
I also find web mail so slow. I deal with hundreds of emails per day.
Yes, mostly spam, but they are so easy to deal with in a fast email
client as compared to using web mail.
And this may be a stupid question. I used to be an ATT web service
tech. That was almost 10 years ago. I've forgot

You mean if any of the mail in the Gmail webmail inbox is part of a
thread, you have to look at it in threaded style by thread and date/time
and the rest of the email shows up by date/time?
Don't think I would like that. I like having the option and usually
pick simple date/time display.
I'm back and I see the thread has progressed without me. Thanks
everyone for the info.
Initially I was asking about moving a Tbird POP acct from a local ISP to
a IMAP Gmail account and particularly if anyone knew if Gmail would
