Re: [VM] gmail issue

Sounds like they added the same `feature' to gmail :-( Yeah, I think they have made an ill-thought out change here. There are possible work-arounds in VM using virtual folders. I will post them here when I have them working. Cheers, Uday

There are a couple of things about this that worry me. 1. If you do vm-toggle-read-only for some reason or other, you might put the folder in read-only mode. If you forget that you have done so and quit the folder, the changes that were made before putting it in read-only mode would be lost. So, vm-toggle-read-only has now become a mildly unsafe operation. This worries me too. I don't think one should confuse modification and read-only. VM is an Emacs package, and people know how read-only and modification interact in Emacs - it should be the same in VM. I think I'll stick with my approach.

I want to use VM but for the moment i've stayed with alpine. The last time we were in touch i was going to install Xubuntu 12.04 only to discover that it was still on Emacs 23. Stunnel gave trouble and Emacs 24 was solving this. I've had so much to do i haven't tried xubuntu 12.11 so the next upgrade for me will be 13.04 when i hope to have VM running. many thanks for all your hard work. james
