I'm happy enough that I've stopped forwarding my mail and use gmail as my primary mail. I'd still like folders in the Web interface. I mean, they've mapped the label/sublabel as folders in IMAP, it just seems natural that they would do the same in webmail. You can have collapsible labels without taking away the benefit of labels over folders. I have two more minor quibbles, and was actually about to write about gmail/imap when I had time, but for the most part I'm fairly happy.

That has always pissed me off about gmail... Funny how you wrote this and now gmail has imap. I think they did a much better job with the reader. It's a very smooth app. Probably my only valid complaint is their applications are attractive, but I think they're too bright, especially when I'm up late and bleary-eyed.
