Got it hereBut haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
I'm very happy about this. I'd say this is probably the #1 most requested gmail feature out there. | |

A dumb questionI'm showing my ignorance, but which would be the preferred mail protocol, IMAP or POP3? My phone supports both and I've been using pop3 for a while. Any worthwhile difference to make me switch? | |

Re: A dumb questionIMAP. The mail stays on the Gmail servers and isn't downloaded to your device taking up space. Plus, it's always sync'd regardless of your access method, messages are consistent with respect to the "seen" flags and you don't have to download that file with the attachment to get to the rest of your mail. | |

Any worthwhile difference to make me switch? IMAP keeps all devices you use in sync with your email, plus it will be compatible with the labels you created. Pop allows one device to download the message and if you check with another device it won't be available. More Info here: » www1.umn.edu/adcs/guides ··· pop.html | |

Re: A dumb questionWith pop3 its possible to set outlook to only retrieve a copy of the message from the gmail servers so i dont see what the big deal is? | |

Re: A dumb questionIf you're managing a large number of messages and you can't remember if you responded to an email, it can be a big deal.
If POP work fine for you, there is no reason to change. But IMAP offers the advantage of being able to reset the message flags and keep the messages in one central location. | |

With POP3 "leave mail on server" only your email messages are on the server, but with IMAP your email folders are also on the server. | |

Works great for me as well! :)Very nice upgrade! I have IMAP with my hosted email solution with Site5. Now, I am considering moving my email over to Gmail because of IMAP support. Gmail with just POP3 was a big turnoff for me. I like the idea that all the mail is kept on the server by default. | |

Re: Works great for me as well! :)I never knew about IMAP before so I can't wait to try this out. Google is the only provider that I know of that let you have free pop3 access and now IMAP. I have a domain and always used the POP3 option since I didn't know what IMAP was... » www.unitedhosting.net/su ··· /5.1.phpIMAP has to be always connected in order for you to receive your e-mail while POP3 downloads it and stores it on your computer. Sometimes I need to look up a message while I have no internet access but the advantages of IMAP outweight it's disadvantage. | |

I love my hosted email, but the problem I have is that spam is a pain in the ass and the web interface on my hosted solution sucks. I have looked at Google Apps in the past, but the lack of IMAP was a killer. Now that Google Apps has enabled Imap, I am in the process of moving my email over to them. Its pretty neat and its free for the standard edition which is all you need. | |

Wish they would change the size limit.Now if they could just up that 10MB limit on emails to say 50 or 100MB. | |
|

Re: Wish they would change the size limit.Actually it's 20 megs. » mail.google.com/support/ ··· pic=1517If you send an email to a server that doesn't support anything over 10 - it will bounce back to you. | |

Wither the context sensitive ads?Just wondering... how will they display those context sensitive ads Gmail is so famous for if you access via email client instead of the web interface? | |

Pretty easy setupI downloaded the new version of Thunderbird and followed the instructions. I think I only made a couple of mistakes. All in all, about 5 minutes of setup. | |

Business modelHow is Google going to sell and feed ads through IMAP? More SPAM? Ads incorporated in the messages? Start selling your email to the highest bidder?
No thanks! | |

Gmail IMAP made my dayGoogle made my day. The IMAP works great. I tried it with Thunderbird and Apple Mail. I am totally thrilled. For ages, companies like Fastmail and others were charging us exorbitant fees for IMAP with only small storage. Now, I really can envisage having a lifetime's worth of email stored on gmail, accessible no matter what computers I have over the next few decades. Thanks, Google, for not being miserly, like Microsoft etc, by being willing to give us IMAP, even though this form of email does not have the targeted AdWords. Don't worry. We'll be loyal to google search, and also I make use of the webmail as the first point of viewing emails. | |

How folders workImap will work great for a friend of mine that hates conversations. One question though. How does this affect how folders work or labels as they are called in gmail? Like, do you creat folders (labels) in gmail and they will show up in OE? | |

HTML?I've recently switched from POP access to IMAP on my home PC, my laptop and my Samsung Blackjack.
The synchronization is nice, but my Blackjack only displays the header of HTML email's...no content.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas for a solution?
TIA.
