I used Mulberry for over 12 years and loved it - We have now moved our
mail to Google and after much kicking and screaming, have moved to the
gmail web interface.

It doesn't completely suck, but I do miss some of the really nice
Mulberry features

I tried to use Mulberry with gmail, but there is a bug in the Gmail
imap interface that causes Mulberry to crash if the message has a .eml
extension it in
