Ah! Never read it, but I heard it was pretty good. The movie... not so much.
The book, ehhhhhhh. Your milage may vary, but I found it rather cheesy. Then again, I'm a huge language nerd (see my username), so the issues with the language building started it off on the wrong foot for me.

G-mail is the worst.
I *cannot* get it to deliver my spam folder to one of my e-mail clients over IMAP. Another client will take delivery of the spam folder over IMAP.
In trying to troubleshoot this, I discovered:
Not all available settings show in the "basic HTML" view.
On one mobile browser, the desktop version of the standard view locks up completely.
On another mobile browser, only the mobile version of the standard view will display.
G-mail recognizes "promotional" e-mails, but does *not* default to marking them as spam.
The basic HTML view shows you what e-mails will be matched by an "is:spam" filter.
However, the standard view explicitly tells you that filters with "is:" will match no e-mails, despite the fact that it will happily search for "is:whatever" interactively, so it's not possible to redirect spam to a custom folder that IMAP will pick up.
Once you're in the standard view, there's no straightforward way of getting back to the Basic HTML view. You have to reload the page, then, before it finishes loading, find and click the link to the basic HTML view on the loading page, and any time you switch to standard view (such as to change settings that are only visible there), it resets the default to standard view, so once you get back to Basic HTML you have to reselect it as the default.

And, of course, I've used my g-mail address for so many things that I can no longer realistically stop using it.
