Hans Across The Interwebs

Well, for me anyways. I’ve even subscribed to other online services to get IMAP. But I always came back to Gmail. Because it’s just so freaking awesome. And now they have IMAP.

If you don’t know what IMAP is: it allows you to have an exact duplicate of you mailbox locally. Not just downloaded messages, but also their status. Read / Unread, which ‘folder’ they’re in. I’m just now downloading all the messages to my IMAP folder. Gmail doesn’t really have ‘folders’ though so I’d be very curious to find out how that’s going to work.

But nonetheless: IMAP!
