That's ridiculous. A patent on that! Makes no sense.
Sense rarely comes into the realm of Intellectual Property rights.

Because Google probably has better lawyers than you.
Duroty already have this functionallity, they say Duroty is the OpenSource Gmail, and they even have a Google-group.
The fact that another product has similar functionality doesn't mean anything, it could well be that they're infringing a patent as well.
