Most network programs lose their connections after roaming, including SSH and Web apps like Gmail.

Gmail.com has been a roaming-safe/disconnect-tolerant web app for quite some time now. It is even tolerant of huge disparities in time, as far as SSL will allow it to be.

I wonder what Gmail client they're talking about...

Gmail often says "reconnecting" for me, and this does not always work correctly unless I manually tell it to "reconnect now".
