Dear listers

Who can explain this weirdness? I recently set up my Gmail account on a Win 8 
machine in Windows Live Mail (it has a nice smart setup so when you put in the 
details of a Gmail account it automatically finds all your server settings etc) 
and then, completely unrelatedly, took a note on my iPhone in a meeting using 
the Notes app. As far as I’' am concerned the two are completely unrelated but 
nonetheless when I next looked at my Gmail in Windows Live Mail a new folder 
called Notes had appeared with my note in it just like magic. It was like an 
email but with no sender address in it and the subject line was the note’s 
contents.

Isn’t this super-weird? Or at least I can’t fathom it at all. Gmail has nothing 
to do with either Microsoft or Apple. iCloud doesn’t connect them and neither 
does Exchange or any of the other stuff I’ve got going on on both devices. Note 
that this new Notes folder is a sub-folder of the Gmail folder so is somehow 
being brought in by the Gmail IMAP account and is reaching into my iPhone and 
grabbing a note from my Notes app.

Ooooh – spooky!

Thanks – Robin.
