Gmail now support IMAP
IMAP-Internet Message Access Protocol. Is a protocol which allow local mail client to access e-mail on a remote server.
Google finally support the IMAP protocol. The screenshot below shows that mail client which support IMAP.
Now, Gmail’s users can read, changes, delete mail messages at their desktop and these changes will reflected in the server. Which means when they log-in to the Gmail using web browser, the messages that had been read, will be marked “read” accordingly. So,Gmail’s users now can log-in to their Gmail using different client at different platform and all changes will be recorded!
Unfortunately, this service only applicable to certain user. If you don’t see ‘Forwarding and POP IMAP’ in your Gmail settings, means you are the unlucky one. Please try log-in and log-out Gmail, maybe you will see this…?
Below is the screenshot of the IMAP setup in Apple iPhone.
