Actually there is at least one: Gmail. But of course that has other baggage which not everyone wants.

Personally I use Gmail via IMAP on Evo, but if I want to do a large-scale search the Gmail web

interface is extremely effective, so I get the best of both worlds. Now if Evo had a direct interface

to the Gmail search function, we'd be really cooking :-) That's not entirely a joke, as Google has

published some API information recently which could be useful. After all, if Evo can handle

other account types such as Exchange, there's no reason *in principle* why this couldn't happen.

I'll go and don my flame-proof suit now ...
