[X4U] Can Apple's Mail pick up GMail?

[Andrew Lynch]

So, if you forget to leave it on the server on one machine, it is not  
available on the other.  And if you have left it on the server on both  
machines, but decide you want to delete it, you need to delete it on  
each machine and psossibly the server as well?  For me, IMAP just does  
the right thing and I don't have to think about it or remember the  
state of individual email messages and their locations.
