Gmail adds IMAP
It appears that Google is working on integrating IMAP into Gmail. Although Google has not released the official word confirming the update via The Official Gmail Blog, the help documents have been posted onto the Gmail site.
This is exciting seeing that Google is indeed starting to rollout updates to Gmail, as a major upgrade has been confirmed for a few months, but the general public (if you’re not a Google Trusted Tester [cached]) have yet to see these upgrades. I reckon that the IMAP upgrade is only the tip of the iceberg of what we’ll see before year’s end.
update: Google did release the official word on IMAP the next day.
