[off-topic] google censorship?

[Leon Wright]

Gavin,

What's your Gmail inbox type set to?

Personally I don't them messing with how I view my mail, so I use a
combination of filters + multiple inboxes labs plugin.

It's likely you were moved over to 'important first', which your client
won't know about and just download everything.
