IMAP access keeps mail in sync between locations. When mail gets read in one spot, it's read in all of them.

This is going to be huge for me. I love gmail for it's amazing inbox filtering, but the pop access was driving me a bit crazy on my iPhone. IMAP access let's me use whatever app I want.

Yay - I finally got IMAP in gmail yesterday. Now what I read on my iPhone is synced with what I've got on the web.

It appears that Google is working on integrating IMAP into Gmail. Download Squad reader <A href="http://www.edequalsawesome.com">eD! Thomas</A> sent in a tip letting us know he came across the new IMAP setting while snooping around Gmail. However, it is only appearing in select few Gmail and Google Apps for domains accounts at the moment.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/10/23/gmail-gets-imap/"><DIV>When we checked Gmail Help database this evening, Gmail had said that they support POP, but <A href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10339">not IMAP</A>. Then a few minutes later, that doc was gone, and a stack of <A href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=%67mail&hl=en&answer=75726">IMAP related help docs</A> were up. The new pages explain how to integrate the new mail feature. It's as easy as setting up POP, but with huge benefits.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/10/23/gmail-gets-imap/">Why is IMAP integration a good thing for Gmail? POP was a stepping stone, but IMAP pushes Gmails benefits over the top. With IMAP, users can now access their email via a desktop application like Outlook or Thunderbird, read emails, make changes, delete, and have the changes made across platforms.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F7E23A09-51FB-4860-8322-BA9701E5F2CF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
