gMail is rolling out IMAP support. [link]

Unlike POP access, IMAP is a two-way syncing mechanism between your email client and Gmail. That is, if you mark a message as read in Thunderbird, for example, it will appear as read in Gmail. (Here's more on why IMAP is better than POP.) Gmail's IMAP support even syncs message stars, labels (as folders), as well as their Spam and Trash folders. Here's a list of IMAP client actions and how they will be reflected inside Gmail.

Wasn't someone asking about the "marking email as read from Thunderbird, etc." issue a while back?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

My problem with Thunderbird, if I remember correctly (it's been awhile since I've checked), is that you can't selectively mark messages for deletion from the server.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was my problem.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I wonder if that was done to sync better with the iPhones since Google and Apple seem to have cozy relationship going and all. Not the exclusive reason, but a driving force. eh, just wondering.

Not javachik

are they all in one thread, or they in individual threads?

It's Gmail incoming email, in the incoming folder. They're in a long line of individual messages. There are ~20 in a row, then I got a message from someone else, then there are ~15 more in a row, then a 2nd message from someone else, then ~10 more in a row.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

As far as I know, you only have two printing options from gmail:

1) print an individual email message; 2) print an entire "conversation" or thread.

So you have 40 odd individual email messages, you'll have to print them one by one.

Comcast Admits Delaying Some Traffic

EW YORK (AP) -- Comcast Corp. on Tuesday acknowledged "delaying" some subscriber Internet traffic, but said any roadblocks it puts up are temporary and intended to improve surfing for other users.

The statement was a response to an Associated Press report last week that detailed how the nation's largest cable company was interfering with file sharing by some of its Internet subscribers. The AP also found that Comcast's computers masqueraded as those of its users to interrupt file-sharing connections.

Internet watchdog groups denounced Comcast's actions, calling it an example of the kind of abuse that could be curbed with so-called "Net Neutrality" legislation. It would require Internet providers to treat all traffic equally - as has largely been the case historically.

Comcast has repeatedly denied blocking any Internet application, including "peer-to-peer" file-sharing programs like BitTorrent, which the AP used in its nationwide tests.

On Tuesday, Mitch Bowling, senior vice president of Comcast Online Services, added a nuance to that statement, saying that while Comcast may block initial connection attempts between two computers, it eventually lets the traffic through if the computers keep trying.

How nice of them.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

They handled the lines for the iPhone pretty efficiently. The wait wasn't as long as some people thought it would be.
