It doesn't work anymore. I changed mail.google.tld to .com still doesn't
work. I was also using Tbird as an IMAP client but, it doesn't do well when
you have other accounts from which you download mail into Gmail skipping the
inbox directly into a label.

Also it sends the same message twice. I.e. it once sends it through the SMTP
server and then while saving it to the Sent folder. Double traffic. If the
mail is a chain mail with big attachments, it sucks on slow connections. So
I went back to web interface.
