Google Rolls Out IMAP For GMail
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "SOFTWARE" @ 03:00 AM
"It's absolutely no secret that Google has a few humble fans of their email service, whose prayers have finally been answered. G's giving its users free -- yes, free -- IMAP access to their inboxes; great for desktop users, sure, but the people most likely to benefit from this development are those on mobile email clients (especially those unable to use the Java Gmail app)."
While I'm not a big email user, I can imagine a lot of mobile GMail users will be over the moon about this - no more triaging your email twice! If you're a GMail user and you've looked at enabling IMAP, have patience. Google is rolling out the service starting with US accounts, and the whole exercise should be complete in a few days. Any GMail users out there want to share their experiences with this?
