DISQUS

Dan Cameron: iMAP on GMail

  • Brian · 2 years ago
    Great idea. I've been waiting on this feature for a long time and now it's working perfectly. Thank Google!
    But the best part is that I can set up Gmail IMAP on my iPhone. I've just learned how to do it in this guide http://www.weshow.com/us/p/20767/set_up_gmail_i...
    The hints are nice and setup is quick: we can do it in less then one minute. That's why I love technology.

    The IMAP support is very good news; I'll leave the Apple comment aside for now.

    I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm hoping they either ignore labels or add a UI feature to optionally associate labels to folders, but never require it to be a 1:1 relationship, because tags/labels are so different from folders.

    Hopefully they keep both and don't try to force one into the other.

    Tried to use GMail IMAP for my main email inbox but it looks like godaddy.com and gmail don't like each other. I use email forwarding from godaddy.com. I can set up several email forwards for the same domain. I get emails forwarded to my comcast.net and yahoo.com accounts but I get bupkis from GMail. Bummer.

    How were you able to copy messages between folders on your iPhone? I only have the option to move a message, which removes it's current label.
