I wonder how many people who are using IMAP can get a good night’s sleep without being interrupted by their email alert. I have been hankering for IMAP for such a long time now and a few months ago, when Gmail starts supporting IMAP, I was so happy.
Now, I am telling friends not to send me frivolous things in the middle of the night!!! Forwarded jokes and mass mail in mailing lists should be sent to another email address of mine and only urgent personal email are to be send to one particular personal Gmail address.
Of course, I could shut off my phone when I am sleeping but then that would defeat the purpose of having IMAP on my mobile device, right? I have mail that I would like to be alerted to at once even when I am sleeping and I am thankful that I have IMAP to do that for me!
