Comment on Configuring GoldMine to use GMail

Yes, GoldMine did recently add IMAP support. However, I have not tried that with GMail myself. Additionally, all versions of GoldMine use POP so the post works for ALL GoldMine users. LMK if you end up trying it though.

Al - I thought that GM recently added support for IMAP mail servers. This would seem to be far preferable to using a POP interface for interacting with GMail. Have you played with that at all?

I tested as far back as GoldMine 5.7.30503 and it works fine. I recommend you redo the steps and try again. Alternatively you can provide me with your exact version 6.7.??? and I would be happy to test with that specific build if possible.

Apparently the older GM 6.7 version does not offer Priority Option as it is not available in Schedule a Call.

Comment on GoldMine's Built-in Spam Filter

Another approach is to use email rules. If an email is from an address not on file, move it to a different inbox folder. This has the advantage of being visible (which reduces the discipline requirement of the above approach)

BTW - Actually, we use K9 for spam filtering, so what we *really* do is delete emails flagged by K9, unless the email is from an address on file - this keeps us from deleting things we shouldn't have, and gives us an opportunity to train K9 when it makes mistakes.
