I've been trying to think of any reason why I need IMAP. I know what it is and how to use it, but I don't really have any desire to use Outlook or Thunderbird for my email and I definitely don't have any desire to hear my mobile phone's new message tone any more often than I already do. I dunno, maybe it's just because I don't have an iPhone... Is that it, is it mainly the iPhone people that are wanting IMAP access?

Even if you log out & back into GMail you still don't have it?

Now that I know it's imminent, I feel like I need to have it. Like jumping-on-a-couch-like-Tom-Cruise going mad !
I suppose it's a slow rollout...

@Coreburn Each time I open a piece of mail from the website, gmail makes sure that this won't be available for my desktop clients and phone.
I think that for anyone who uses iphones or symbians or windows mobile or blackberries will think of this as a great advantage.

To all the catlovers and otherwise; I got IMAP for 2/3 accounts/domains without having to logout/in (this didn't help anyways).
The service works pretty good, though it's not the fastest I've seen.

I will use it on the mail app on my mac. It's a better browsing experience.

Here's someone who drove to Google's office to let them know his feelings about his lack of IMAP access. He drafted a letter (in Google Docs), printed & posted it to their doors. http://www.nickstarr.com/2007/10/26/give-me-gmail-imap/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickstarr/sets/72157602721981419/ He really wants his IMAP, and I think I understand now.
