Jake,
I'm getting the same thing with Comcast mail. It comes in spurts,
then none
for 12-24 hours then a bunch. I don't think it's gmail related.

We ask the List so we can know whether Gerry's had another serious
attack of
the collywobbles or its just the Gerry/Gmail conflict rearing its
ugly head
again.
If you don't care, read the subject line and hit 'Delete'. If you're
worried about your connection, click and read.
You can't please all of the people all of the time.
Oh, and Happy Easter one and all! :)
