[Personaltrainer]

Hi,
Google has introduced a new feature for its Gmail users. Enable your IMAP feature in gmail settings and follow the instructions. You will now be able to handle your gmails on your desktop applications like Outlook.

great post, I didn't realize that option was there until I saw your post. Glad to see G' is catching up to the times. . . pop3 is so dead

Very cool, but I don't use my gmail account a whole lot so it won't be much use for me. I mostly stick to my mail hosted on my servers but I know others who forward all their mail to gmail control so this will be huge for them.

There is nothing wrong about that any member can share anything here.

I did not mean that. This is a good thread but i want to know if there is any davantage of IMAP over POP3 since replies were too much positive..
