Activate 'hidden' features in the Gmail Notifier
Authored by: astrosmash on Sep 19, '05 05:57:42PM

Because reading a new message in Mail.app doesn't mark the message as read in GMail, and vice versa.

I use Mail.app with GMail POP simply for backup and local storage of my GMail account. (My email situation has never been better since I started doing that, by the way. All 4000 messages of the GMail messages show up in spotlight. It's awesome)

Activate 'hidden' features in the Gmail Notifier

actually it does mark messages as read. if you set it up in gmail pop preferences, you can have it it archive all the messages downloaded to mail, so you dont miss anything, and dont have to sort through crap when you access gmail from somewhere else. its beautiful.

Gmail POP, archive, and spam
Authored by: sjk on Sep 20, '05 07:31:50PM

I've noticed Gmail POP occasionally fails to download (and archive, on the Gmail side) a couple messages, which I know are still in the INBOX because of the RSS feed I use to monitor it. And when I interactively login to Gmail those check those messages they've *always* been spam. I have no idea why it behaves like that but it's actually a feature for me because I can mark those unarchived messages as spam without reading them.
