never had any serious issues with gmail. funny though, it's actually been more consistent and reliable than the other paid email services i use.

Enter response:I am in the market for a new host right now. My host really dropped the ball with my email at a crucial point [round the world trip].
I have been looking into other hosts and a lot of people are making complaints about their hosts abilities in the email area.
Using google was the perfect solution for me and my email.

the new imap feature is the bomb
although it downloaded like all million of my emails, but after that it's like butter
mail.app ftw

i have issues with it. a lot of emails from people who are in my address book go straight to trash. they didn't before. very annoying. and then if i move to inbox and reply their reply still goes to trash.

lol apple mail is importing every single email from my main account, theres millions. And google notifier is saying there are 1288 unread messages in my second account. Too many mails.
At least this is sorted. I know - im a douche

btw i use the gmail notifier for my main account so it seemed to be more efficient at the time. But yea this is a pretty obvious solution that hadn't crossed my mind.

correct. I actually have 2 gmail accounts, my main one I use for work is based on the web, and the other one I use for signing up for stuff, newsletters, ebay, amazon etc is through apple mail. but I never ever use it to send mail.
Uhh maybe I should just switch...
yes, that would make sense.

well, that is a pickle, ain't it?
off hand- this is the web-based verison you are using and not POP through a mail client, correct?
