Gmail gets IMAP support. Very cool. Only having POP access was an annoyance, especially on b.'s iPhone.
IMAP allows you to keep your mail account in sync even when you are using multiple clients. So now mail read, say, on the iPhone will show up as read when you later check from your desktop. And mail sent from your desktop will show up in the sent mail folder on your phone.
Like a lot of new Google features, IMAP support is being rolled out incrementally. Some people have had it for days, many new people are getting it turned on all the time, but I still don't have it on my account. Grrrrr. I'm sure complaining here will do the trick...
