No, it's about Gmail's non-standard behaviour. This is a non-issue for
most people.

No need to be sarcastic. It won't help the discussion and development
of ideas.

We are not talking about a glitch or bug in TB!. TB! is WAD. The
discussion is about whether the design needs to be changed in order to
cater to one non-standard email provider. I say no, you say yes. Fine.

Not everybody lives in a country where "this product may be hot" has
to be printed on a hot coffee cup in big red letters.

If there is no space in your harddisk, you will have other problems.
And, if it happens so regularly that you need your email client to
tell you, you should review your policies with regards to disk space
usage.

Correct, but there is no glitch here.

The reason is Gmail... If a message is not imported, why does Gmail
prevent a second download attempt? I suggest to change email provider,
as TB! already re-downloads by default. Only Gmail doesn't let it.

Really? You seem to know about the inner workings of TB! than Stefan,
who said the same - and it is my experience also. Yes, I've been in
the situation that one or more mails couldn't be imported, no problem:
TB! downloaded them again next time. Of course, I don't use Gmail.

Just in case somebody uses Gmail... Nice suggestion.
