Gmail - Thunderbird - Enigma
This won't dispose of the need to scan your spam folder through the Gmail interface periodically but it will circumvent performance issues.
Gmail woes
There are times when GMail does not perform adequately. There are many possible reasons. This list is not exhaustive nor is it guaranteed to resolve any particular issue.

Compulsive Forwarders
I get mostly two kinds of email: spam, and messages that look like this:
FWD: YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS ITS SO CUTE!!!!!!!
FWD: SIGN THIS PETITION OR BIBLE ILLEGAL!!!!!!
FWD: DONT DELETE THIS ONE!!!!!! KITTENS!!!!!!!
FWD: JESUS COMING NEXT FRIDAY 3:23 PACIFIC STANDARD TIME!!!!!!!
Lousy grammar and punctuation aside, I hate these. Honestly. I hate them worse than spam, because there is an outside chance that I may have won a $100 Macy’s gift card out of the blue, even though I’ve never darkened the door of Macy’s in my life. On the other hand, there is no chance in hell (except in hell, I should say) that the Bible is in danger of being outlawed.
And I’ll bet my kids’ college savings that the Lord will be a no-show on Friday afternoon.
Mailing Lists
Particularly handy if you are sent an email and want to capture the list of email addresses.
- click "show details"
- select the list of email addresses by "scooping" with the mouse (carefully positioning the mouse at the starting point, holding down the left button, moving to the ending point, releasing the left mouse button, and type Control-C). Make sure you get just the list of addresses and not stuff around it.
- click "Contacts"
- click "Groups"
- click "Create group"
- supply a "Group Name"
- paste the addresses in the "Add contacts" box
- click "Create Group"
Almost too easy. Neat thing about the method is that if GMail sent it to you, they will accept it in the "Add contacts" box.
GMail - IMAP - Thunderbird
IMAP has arrived for GMail. The neat things about IMAP are folders and synchronization between multiple client machines. N.B. You must use the web based access to train your SPAM filter and to resolve issues. IMAP for GMail is new and there will be bumps. I tried it with Evolution and it was extremely slow. It seems to be working fine with Thunderbird. I don't use Microsoft mail clients. You can download Thunderbird for Windows from here.
Once you are emotionally and intellectual prepared for this "excellent adventure" -
Click Settings on the upper right of your LSNet - GMail page, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
