I see new (for me) information about Gmail structure :-)

Is anyone interested in further discussing the topic of the odd

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2016-April/msg00070.html

I'd like to continue these lessons about Gmail here, but that would need
to bring together this thread and the one already started or start a new
one - or any other suggestions ?
