> At least now I can happily use fopen to read data from a website, right? And backup my email just by dragging folders from Gmail to a local disk. Right guys?

It would be nice to rsync to send/retrieve emails and manage my inbox. Maybe the original MSN concept needs to be revisited?

Yep, but it's another thing to install, and it's another thing to configure, right? If I had a json file that was my email configuration, and could use the `rsync` tool that comes with my *nix distribution, that would be a whole lot simpler.
