Re^2: Webmail clients (IMAP/POP3)

But how shall I ever get a gMail invite? There's only 3,145,293,289 people allowed to use it!

And there are 157,264,664,450 invites currently out there. (Every user just got 50 invites.) Want one? :-) Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]

I think they just let the pigeons sort through mounds of Bayesian spam filter chum until they came up with a functioning webmail app (a new twist on infinite monkeys . . .). (Seriously, I have no idea. If you look at their job openings most of them are for C++ or Java and a smattering of Other (Perl, Python, et al), so one of those would be a safe guess).	[reply]
