I have.  You mistook my meaning.

I was meaning to imply that "gmail as a server" can mean multiple 
things.  As in stating "gmail as a server" by itself is not enough to 
specify what type of server.

I was aware that you were using Gmail as a POP3 server.

I also suspect that you are using Gmail as an SMTP server, despite not 
saying such.

I'm fairly certain that Thunderbird's immediate predecessor, Netscape 
Mail / Communicator existed in '96.  I know it existed in the late '90s. 
  (It's my understanding that Thunderbird is a direct descendant of 
original Netscape source code.)  Please forgive me for counting Netscape 
Mail / Communicator and Mozilla Thunderbird as one project and implying 
that said project was around in the '90s.
