Question for someone regarding the "imap2soap.pl" script?

I realize it is not officially supported, but I seem to be having a  
problem I would imagine has happened to someone before:

I am trying to hook it up to GMail through the new IMAP interface, and  
it seems, even with correct settings, to hang for a bit, and then time  
out at 30 seconds.  I got on the IRC Channel with a chap in NZ who  
tried it with a GMail account of his own, and was the same behavior.

Has anyone else run into this issue using imap2soap to pull IMAP from  
a "free" mail provider such as GMail, Yahoo, etc?  Is this a known  
issue with workarounds?

Thanks!

Tom Sanderson

Hello,

We actually had to work around by setting up an alternate "email  
domain" with a different domain name and on-board IMAP/mail services.  
There was such a long delay or some other issue with GMail that we  
could never get it to work properly. I don't think using anything  
except an "official" mail server is advisable as far as I can tell...  
also, I did not examine the TOS, but it was brought up before that  
using some type of automated mailer daemon, were Google to realize you  
were doing so, might  cause revocation of your free services anyway.

Best of luck!

Sorry if this is noise, but is there a reason that the CiviMail developers decided to go with a mail based opt-out instead of url-based like PHP-List? http://www.phplist.com/

It seems like the return mail path is too painful to setup, especially for those of us who host multiple sites, and free email.
