Sorry, I understood almost nothing of that web page. :(

Interesting idea. I just did so using the standard settings. Attempting
to get messages resulted in a quick flash of the screen, way to fast to
read anything that Claws Mail might have tried to announce. No new
messages were retrieved, there are still 4 in the Inbox (via Firefox),
and the log shows the same results as what I posted with my original
post above - lots of NOOP and Success announcements, amounting to
nothing.

I really think it's time to abandon Gmail. Life is too short to put up
with this hassle.
