Comments on: Am I the only guy without IMAP Gmail?

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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.
