Gmail e o IMAP / Gmail and the IMAP

Tem corrido pela Net que o Google tem, finalmente, o protocolo IMAP disponivél no GMAIL. Dizem que nem todas as contas têm mas vão ter, e como ainda não testei na minha também não faço ideia se tenho ou não de qualquer forma quero deixar aqui uma tabela que relaciona as acções que executamos no programa de email e as acções correspondentes no GMAIL:

Action on mobile device/client (e.g. iPhone/Outlook)	Result in Gmail on the web
Open a message	Mark a message as read
Flag a message	Apply a star to the message
Move a message to a folder	Apply a label to the message
Move a message to a folder within a folder*	Apply a label showing folder hierarchy ('MainFolder/SubFolder')*
Create a folder	Create a label
Move a message to [Gmail]/Spam	Report a message as spam
Move a message to [Gmail]/Trash	Move a message to Trash
Send a message	Store message in Sent Mail
Delete a message in inbox	Remove the message from inbox
Delete a message from a folder	Remove that label from the message
Delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash	Delete the message permanently

------

It has been around the Internet that Google has, finally, the IMAP protocol in the GMAIL accounts. They say that not all accounts have them now, but later will do, and since I haven't tested on mine account, so I too don't make a clue if it's there or not. Anyway I would like to share a table that gives relations between the actions we execute on the email program and the actions GMAIL does on our account:

Action on mobile device/client (e.g. iPhone/Outlook)	Result in Gmail on the web
Open a message	Mark a message as read
Flag a message	Apply a star to the message
Move a message to a folder	Apply a label to the message
Move a message to a folder within a folder*	Apply a label showing folder hierarchy ('MainFolder/SubFolder')*
Create a folder	Create a label
Move a message to [Gmail]/Spam	Report a message as spam
Move a message to [Gmail]/Trash	Move a message to Trash
Send a message	Store message in Sent Mail
Delete a message in inbox	Remove the message from inbox
Delete a message from a folder	Remove that label from the message
Delete a message from [Gmail]/Spam or [Gmail]/Trash	Delete the message permanently

Lançado o Gimp 2.4 / Gimp 2.4 Launched

Cerca de 3 anos depois e com muitas novas funcionalidades, já saiu o GIMP 2.4. Foi ontem, e como é que isso me escapou? Bem, ontem estive sem acesso à Net durante bastante tempo e por isso passou-me ao lado... até hoje, claro! Mas a novidade não se resume a ser só a nova versão 2.4. Também têm um novo layout do site. Quanto a mim, e apesar de ainda só ter navegado um pouco por lá, parece melhor. Quanto às novas funcionalidades são tantas que o melhor mesmo é lerem as release notes. Do que li e do que já vi, é um excelente passo em frente. E com o novo projecto que o GIMP lançou com o objectivo de mudar a interface (um grande contra para muitos utilizadores) vamos, de certeza, ter muitas e boas novidades da parte deste projecto.

It as been around 3 years and with a lot of new features, GIMP 2.4 has come out to the wild. It was yesterday and how did that passed trough me? Well, yesterday I lost Net access for a long time... and that's why I didn't mention it until today. But the news don't resume to the GIMP 2.4. They also have a new layout on their website. For me, and besides just a few time navigating on it, it's better. About the new features they are so many that it's better to read the release notes. From what I already read and seen, it's a good step forward. And adding to that the new project launch to make the interface (a very troublesome "feature" that many users complaint) better we are, for sure, going to have many good news from the part of these guys.
