A better Gmail IMAP to Mail.app sync
Authored by: schvenk on Mon, Apr 21 2008 at 9:24AM PDT

Is Gmail IMAP relatively stable at this point? I tried moving my email from my ISP over to Gmail IMAP a while back and discovered it wasn't ready for prime time - copying large mailboxes over via IMAP resulted in a fair amount of data loss. Gmail help pretty much said, "Don't copy your mail over, it's not stable enough." So I gave up. Has this improved?
