I don't know why they mention Antonov in this story here now. As you can all read in the press release ( http://www.spykercars.nl/download/artikel/statement_SAAB_jan_26_final.pdf ), CEO Victor Muller did a management buyout and is the 100% owner of Sypker. Antonov is not an investor in Spyker anymore!

Why would google do this? In my experience as a webhoster, IMAP is heavier than POP. And even POP, why would they do that? Beceause now they're offering really free mail, where with webmail you have ads.
