What annoys me the most is no CONDSTORE/QRESYNC support, so you
|
|
can't create an efficient gmail client - you need to sync all the
|
|
flags, every time. Gmail is big enough that I'm fairly willing to
|
|
special case it in exchange for big performance wins, but there's
|
|
just no way to be sure you have all the changes.
