+<p>Google's IMAP servers, as of April 2008, are broken and re-encode
+MIME-encoded headers improperly and are not feature-complete yet. The
+model how their servers organize mail also deviates in significant ways
+from what the POP3 or IMAP protocol 'fathers' conceived. This means all
+sorts of strange effects, for instance, your sent mail may show up in
+the mail that fetchmail fetches. It's best to avoid fetching mail from
+Google until they are using standards-compliant software.</p>
