and turns - first thunderbird on Ubuntu, they shared with windows (same data
different OS's being able to access it using their thunderbird) then only
Linux thunderbird and then kontact. There were internet outages that lasted
ages - months when the only internet was dial up and it was a pain to
download only the subject lines of messages and not have the full mail. So
tried to restart on a "good" connection from the beginning (resetting in
gmail to download from start) and invariably it would download till about a
year before current (now its 2 - 3 years before current and then give up.

So a friend wrote the script to bypass some of gmails restrictions on how
much mail could be downloaded in one go and thats how i have managed to
download all the mail in just a few sittings (my gmail is using 5.85 GB) and
another friends is using about 5 GB

Yes claws is clawing its way to a lot of recognition and i hope it does not
get bloated like the others.

My problem with kmail is similar to what effects kde - they work well but
they have too many linkages - when you install kmail it also installs tonnes
of other stuff and they start to slow the system down like crazy.

anyways thats about it for now MTFBWY
