Joe Kissell on changes to Mail that hate on Gmail:

> Mail and Gmail were never a fantastic combination out of the box, because Gmail has a wacky, highly nonstandard way of using IMAP, and Mail always wanted to treat Gmail as though it were a conventional IMAP server.

Pairing a Gmail email with Mail.app is just about the worst thing you can do. I don’t say that in jest either — the two just do not play nicely with each other.
