3. I have a gmail that I use primarily (though not solely) for story updates from AO3, I would love to use this feature, but I haven't got a half a clue what an IMAP server is. The FAQ mentions gmail specifically, but I'm afraid of breaking something. Do I just put google dot com as the IMAP server and then my log in details for that account? Will it be a problem that I've got some order confirmations in that inbox?

So I use FFF to snag updates from AO3 on a daily basis. I filter my Calibre library to only display items that are "In-Progress" (that's the AO3 tag) and then I highlight the first 40 or so, click the FFF button in the bar, and let it go to work. If I was to have it scan all my I-P fics, it'd take about an hour (there are about
500 or so I'm still tracking for updates), but I do it in chunks else AO3 burps and I get "Too Many Requests" errors.
I get the email update messages in my mail, too, but I just use the procedure I posted to get the updates.
It also really helps to have one library that is JUST for fanfic, and another (or more) for the rest of your materials. I've broken my collection into several: magazines, non-fic, cooking, crafts, etc.
Hope that helps
