I tried backing up seven years' Gmail over POP. Has anyone else ever tried this? It got to December 2005, and now insists "No new messages on server." Anything I can do from here to get POP working properly, or has Gmail got my mail forever? I'm currently trying to get local copies of everything over IMAP.

arkady has shown no signs whatsoever of migraines since she got her teeth done, which is pretty good considering the migraines were so bad she'd actually applied for disability. We're cautiously optimistic. I'm having to get used to showing up at the office again.

This turns out to be the GMail server being flaky. I reported the bug and the devs have some idea what's happening; if I can get the problem I'm having more reproducible, a fix should follow shortly. They are most helpful and seem to have a visceral loathing of hangs and crashes.
