	I've tried a few different free IMAP server. AIM mail was slow. Zoho
had annoying quirks (don't recall exactly what)

The other in the top 6 of this list:
http://email.about.com/od/freeemailreviews/tp/free_pop3_email.htm
had limits which I didn't agree with.
	I ended up with GMail, because I didn't want to waste any more time
screwing around. I can deal with it's quirks about hiding my list mail
submissions...

	'Course, I wonder if Yahoo would be upset at me if I discovered the
settings that they use for IMAP on the iPhone, and applied those to
Thunderbird...

I tried that after someone claimed it would work but i couldn't get it 
going. Be grateful if you'd let me know if you're successful.
