Google Launches IMAP Support for Gmail
Monday, October 29th, 2007Google Inc. has launched a new IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) service for Gmail that will allow users to sync Gmail with their e-mail clients.
“It keeps the same information synced across all devices so that whatever you do in one place shows up everywhere else you might access your e-mail,” said David Murray, associate product manager, in a blog post. “For example, I can read an e-mail in Gmail, then move it to the ‘Starred’ folder on my iPhone, then archive it by moving it to ‘All Mail’ in Thunderbird, then see all of those changes on my BlackBerry or any of [these] devices for that matter.”
