I've been putting off moving my "email of last resort" from
yahoo to gmail.  This sealed it... and in fact, gmail has
improved its service so much (not just webmail, but both
POP and IMAP service, too!) that gmail is probably going to
be my ONLY email service.

Now I'm just fighting with the configuration -- I've got
IMAP working properly, but for some reason, I can't
mail out through the SMTP yet.
