I knew it had to be coming. IMAP support in Gmail. Ok, maybe you're not a geek, so what does this mean, who cares? Well for mobile mail users (my preference being the iPhone, of course) this means a much richer email experience. FINALLY, when I delete a message, or stick it in a folder, this change happens on both my iPhone, and on the Gmail server. No more deleting them off my iPhone during my mobile experience, and then having to do it again from a laptop or desktop computer.

I'm not sure if we get push out of this, my guess is not yet, I'd think that would be big news. But we do get labels as directories, marked as read functionality, and starred functionality.

This is a good day. :) It doesn't take much to make me happy apparently. Make sure to 'enable IMAP' in your gmail settings, and then head over the Gmail iPhone IMAP setup page for the details.
