I interpret the "if used correctly" bit to mean "using the GMail web 
interface, not a 3rd party client such as Evolution or Mutt."  Am I 
correct in this interpretation?

I read somewhere in my travels across the Web today while researching 
this that Google only has partial implementation of IMAP.  I don't know 
how accurate that is since I don't the underlying details of this 
protocol.

There's a Gmail Labs thing that has extensive IMAP controls which will 
do that.  Another poster suggested that to me.
