Saving gmail messages
I needed to re-compose a file which was split into 7 parts and sent to my gmail account. Strangely, you cannot do this through the web interface -- instead you have to set up POP3 or IMAP to do this (!). While trending on this idea, I learned that you can access Yahoo! mail through POP3 too, using the YPOPs! application.

Out of sight!
But anyway, back to gmail. I enabled POP3 (actually it was already enabled), and set up Claws to retrieve. There is some complicated-looking instructions in the Claws help pages:
http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Installation_and_Configuration#Does_Claws_Mail_work_with_Gmail_accounts.3F
Well, actually that part is not so complicated, but the part about effectively using gmail tags is. The thing is, if you don't do that correctly, all of your "archive"d emails get thrown in your inbox together with everything else.
