So I'm gonna go on waiting for something to happen...

Gotta go check if IMAP's there ...

My account is not updated yet, unfortunately. How is the IMAP performance with a filled (~2GB) account? I have tried some other commerical IMAP providers in the past month but they all had dramatic IMAP performance.

This would be incredibly cool with Google Apps Professional, 25GB of email storage plus IMAP access.. :9]]>Oct 24th 2007 10:07AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/Oct 24th 2007 11:05AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/

FINAL LIGHT: IMAP is an image of what is on the gmail server. So you can access your email from multiple applications whether mobile, desktop or laptop and the Inbox, Sent, Draft, etc. is always the same.

POP: You are just downloading what is on the gmail server so when another application accesses gmail the email it is looking for is gone because the another application already downloaded it.]]>Oct 24th 2007 4:49PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/Oct 24th 2007 5:19PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/Oct 24th 2007 5:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/10/24/gmail-goes-imap-finally-your-mobile-email-client-and-gmail-fall-i/

I had a complicated imap workaround for my iPhone, in which I forwarded from my vanity domain to Gmail, then on to an "iphone@vanitydomain.com" email.

Anyone know whether Gmail's new imap is going to do me any good? I can't quite wrap my mind around what it means for me.]]>Oct 24th 2007 7:32PM
