I am a big user of GMail, so I was pleased when they announced IMAP
support. But with KMail (KDE 3.5.8), the performance is just awful. If I
click on my inbox to view my mail, I get something like:

"Retrieving folder contents... Please wait."

And it can stay like that for an hour. Folders with tagged mail are viewable, but the \
inbox with untagged e-mail is not. This has put me off of KMail and on to \
Thunderbird, where the performance is quite fast.  I am using the same settings in \
both clients. The instructions I used are at:

I have tried setting the account up both as IMAP and disconnected IMAP. The \
disconnected IMAP setting is even worse. My folders appear, but I can't see anything \
that's in them.
