Marrying Gmail and Mutt 31
teumima writes "I found this article very nice and simple on how to configure mutt for g-mail." Indeed; nice piece. I've been experimenting with using Gmail as my default mail drop, but don't really want to be dependent on being online or just POP; I just wish they would let me pay for IMAP service. Linux.com is also owned by OSTG.

Google, are you listening? (Score:1, Interesting)
I would readily outsource my corporate email to Google under the following conditions:
* Provide IMAP support. Sending labels as X-Label headers would be icing on the cake.
* Give me a privacy policy. Requirements:
- If I delete an email, it is deleted. Period.
- Backup/restore run by my corporation, not Google.
- Guarantee that nothing but uncontroversial demographic data will be shared with third parties
* Mailing List Management.
* Good management tools (account add/hold/delete, etc.) for corporate IT. Scriptable.
* No ads.
The privacy bit is really important. No-one, not even the government, should every have access to my user's email. The only way I want the Government to have access to any user data is via subpoena to my corporation. I do not want anyone submitting subpoena's to a third party for my corporate data.
People will pay good money for this; especially if integrated with calendaring and chat. Give the people what they want, and they'll eat it up.
