I must be. I have spent the last four days (at great risk to my mar­riage) con­stantly refresh­ing my Gmail account, then singing out and sign­ing back in, because some­one, some­where, posted that you might have to do that, then sign­ing out, clear­ing my browser’s cache, and sign­ing back in, because some­one else said you might have to do that, and each and every time, all I get in Gmail’s Set­tings is:

For­ward­ing and POP

I’m start­ing to hate kittens.

    It is not just you. I’ve heard oth­ers com­plain as well. I have 2 gmail accounts…one seri­ous and one friv­o­lous. Of course the friv­o­lous one has IMAP. The seri­ous one does not.

    I have it. Where’s your supe­rior foot­ball team now, Mr. Novo?

  3. Danny says:

    I don’t reg­u­larly stoop to the level to which I am about to stoop. But I do so des­per­ately want to start check­ing my Gmail with Mail.app (it will solve many prob­lems for me, prob­lems that might be alle­vi­ated by Google’s rumored over­haul of Gmail, which might pos­si­bly hap­pen before I get IMAP on my account, the way this is going)… so. < clears throat >

    Denny, you suck.

    This is get­ting dirty. I love it. I wish I could give you my IMAP fea­ture; I have it and have absolutely no inten­tion of ever using it. Mail.app does noth­ing but take up space on my MacBook.

    I finally am IMAP enabled on all gmail accounts. Hope­fully your IMAP is not far behind.….…

  6. Danny says:

    And my account, today, some­time between 3:48 pm and 5:36 pm, finally joined every sin­gle other Gmail account in being IMAP enabled.

  7. mark says:

    OK, but have you been upgraded to the new ver­sion of Gmail yet?

  8. Danny says:

    Bite me. Of course I don’t. But who cares! With IMAP, I am aban­don­ing the tyranny of web-based email for­ever! Or some­thing. Unless Gmail 2.0 is awe­some. And I have to tell you, a con­sol­i­dated address book across Google ser­vices would be awesome.

  9. mark says:

    You’re not miss­ing anything.

  10. Danny says:

    I feel jus­ti­fied in point­ing out that Google offi­cially announced that IMAP was avail­able to every­one on their blog, post­ing at 10:20 pm. So, after one week, I got IMAP in my account no more than 5 hours before all accounts had received the upgrade.

    So, a lit­tle math sug­gests that 97% of the time passed before I got IMAP enabled on my account. I am happy to extrap­o­late (how­ever inac­cu­rately) that I was in the last 3% of Gmail users to get IMAP.
