should this work even when my namespace doesn't reflect the gmail
mount? the rio window where i started upas/fs died and disappeared
(note: without my intervention) sometime last night. i can't find any
trace of the gmail messages on my system.
i sent the command above, but messages in my gmail inbox are
still getting marked as read a few seconds after they arrive.
in the future i'll try nupas.
thanks,
