     While I think a warning should more be an "anti-feature" note, I agree that Geary's love for Gmail is too much.

     I mean starting with an "using Gmail?" on the main page, followed by the same question when clicking on "Documentation" and finding it there again on first position after following the documentation towards "Consult the Frequently Asked Questions"

     Definitely too much!

     @ekaitz_zarraga Nope. Gotta be neutral and make it as easy as possible for people to use Gmail or freedom loses.
