Just be aware that doing this means Subscribing to the All Mail
"folder" in Gmail, which contains *everything* in every "folder" on the
account (except for Spam and Trash). That could be extremely large and
Evolution will proceed to index all of it. Currently I don't subscribe
to All Mail from Evo for that reason, though maybe I'm being over-
cautious.
