[Paul Saenz]

Don't be shocked at how old this thread is, but I just wanted to know if anyone is using this and how they like it.

> then you search for e-mails using a search interface.

> Pros:
>   - No longer have to worry about your e-mail being stored/read at G!
>   Works with your own secure IMAP store.
>   - Does not read your e-mail and place "Sponsored Ad Links" into your
>   application.
>   - Higher-speed interface, no need to use web browser.
>   - Customizable, behaves very similar to Mutt (a good thing)
> 
> Cons:
>   - Ruby
>   - Maintains index files, causes problems for other mail clients to use
>   the same mail store.
> 
> Anyone want to try it out before I try and have it index 700+ MB of mail
> currently stored in 500+ folders?
