Well, they're breaking user expectations one way or the other, and I've so
far resisted the itch of printing and logging warning banners everywhere
fetchmail comes across gmail...

And that Hotmail is an inferior service in the eyes of some people, doesn't
excuse or justify Google's strangeness in any way.

I see Anne's posting of getting around the Google POP3 interface and still
have some benefits, but this doesn't bring the whole discussion back into
the scope of this list I'm afraid...
