Gmail IMAP Support

October 26, 2007 — Joeb454

I noticed Google were slowly rolling out IMAP support for the Gmail accounts, and that I got mine today (may have been earlier in fairness…I only checked about 15 minutes ago).

Although I’m not going to use it yet, based on 1 thing:

I use POP3 from Outlook 2007, and I’ve created a rule which deletes emails that I’ve sent to people, so that way, I only have the emails I actually want to read in my inbox.

Problem is that if I use IMAP, those emails will be deleted from my Gmail account as well, which I don’t want them to be, so that’s just no good!

Unless there becomes some sort of option to turn this off, or a workaround, or I just give up caring, then I won’t be using IMAP just yet.

Steam

Ok so I downloaded and installed Steam earlier. I figured I’d have some old school Counter-Strike & Half Life on here to play when I get a bit bored etc.

All was well, I downloaded the updates, changed the settings etc. and searched for some servers, but every time I tried to connect, I kept getting disconnected from the Net, and I don’t mean just my Wireless being turned off, the router itself just gave up and died on me, I had to reset it 3 times before I figured it was Steam & I gave up.

So it looks like no classic online action for me until Steam has sorted some serious issue it has with either a BT Home Hub, or just routers in general, I’m curious to know if any other people have this problem.
