I actually think this section is correct as written - it's explicitly
about the gmail web interface.

Using gmail for email submission (note that doesn't involve IMAP) is a
bit out of scope for a document that is explicitly about email
*clients*.  Still, we could add a line saying that gmail can be used in
that mode, probably with a reference to the mutt configuration in your
other patch.  Please feel free to send a patch along those lines.

I've applied the other two, though, thanks.
