No. That is not correct. At least, it is correct as far as it goes, but it
completely misses the point. If one uses Gmail's POP3 facility, it does not
allow you download copies of emails you sent - to mailing lists etc. - in the
list, in the thread to which they belong. You will see that although I use
Gmail's POP3 facility, I do not use the Gmail SMTP for mailing list emails
precisely because of this. I use Zen's SMTP server. I like getting my
emails in the list in the proper place in the thread.
Gmail's "conversations" are not threading, and break threads for threading
email clients.
