I wonder if the IMAP problems are because of Google's implementation of it, or Apple's Mail.App (on OSX and iPhone) not really being built for anything other than .Mac/MobileMe?

I suspect it may be a Google problem. But it is a real problem. For example, I have 4 folders now for Sent Mail. I don't know what the difference between any of them are. I've also got two junk folders, one of them with 1000 unread messages (probably the server one). This really wasn't made to be easy for your average user. I've also got loads of folders inside the [Gmail] folder. Oh, and then there are the duplicate email problems.

Try clicking on one of the folders under [Gmail] in the Mail sidebar, and then in the menu bar click on Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > and then select the folder (for example, Trash) that corresponds to what you have selected under [Gmail]. This should at least alleviate some of the issues with Gmail's IMAP implementation.

I tried .mac recently and it really failed to meet my (already VERY low expectations).

I went into it only planning to use iDisk. I don't need another Mail account or any of the web features (besides, everything .mac churns out seems to use bizarre web design elements that I couldn't inflict on anyone!).

The biggest problem for me was the speed of transfers to and from iDisk. I have a 20mbps down and 768kbps up connection and it went much slower than other services I've used. Looking on the .mac forums, this is a common problem (especially in Europe). Luckily Apple gave me a full refund (I cancelled within 30 days).

MobileMe isn't really different enough to cause me to reconsider things. The Windows support isn't that great.

Well, MobileMe seems to be quite different. And it really isn't meant to be a Windows product. Apple does have a OS of their own you know.

Well, duh.

But is it really too much to ask for it to support the apps that are included with every Windows computer and not just one that mostly business users will have?

Windows Mail, Calendar etc. are very much like the Mac apps. They should be supported for sync.

I wont be getting it. I would only be syncing between my iMac and iPod touch and I don't need things pushed instantly. I can manage without online storage and flickr works fine for photos. I also don't need to go back to my Mac while I'm out and about.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.

    • Microsoft fired the team and replaced them with AI and this is what you get.
