Free IMAP On Gmail

Posted by kdawson on from the bout-time dept.

A number of readers are writing in to tell us that Google is rolling out IMAP support for Gmail accounts. Several people say that some of their gmail accounts offer the IMAP option (in Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP) and others do not.

    A hosted MAPI / Exchange account is much much better than IMAP.
    Call me when all the top mail clients support it (like they do with IMAP) instead of just one.
