Using IMAP with SM

[jeffneedle]

Using SM 2.0.14 on a WinXP box.

I've come to want to use IMAP rather than POP as my e-mail protocol. It
seems to accomplish a lot more than POP does for my purposes.

I played with Windows Live Mail for a few days. Hopelessly slow. But
it allowed me to use the address book from my gmail account directly,
rather than using the local address book. I'd love to be able to do
this with SM.

I can't figure out how to set this up. Everything else is working fine.
How can I get SM to pull addresses, and add addresses, directly to the
gmail server, rather than to my local address books. Is this even possible?

Thanks.

As you can probably see, this is no longer an active newsgroup.
This group was officially abandoned 5 years ago.
People have moved to the mozilla.* support groups on the news server news.mozilla.org.
