Half the fun of running a blog is looking at the stats it generates — where people come from, what they look at while they are here, what browsers they are using.

Normally one would only mention that in small, infrequent statistical celebrations, but I was looking at the stats for searches on the blog today and noticed two things:

• The most common search term over three months is not Apple Mail or Mail.app or IMAP lock-ups or iPod or restoring lost mail. It is, you guessed it, Gmail.
• A few people, or maybe one determined person, are/is searching for “AOL IMAP path prefix”. As far as I know, you don’t need one, and the Unofficial AOL FAQ for IMAP in Apple Mail thinks so too.

There were eight searches just for “goodness“. That’s what I like about Mac users. They’re such nice people!
