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.

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.</p> Bite me. Of course I don’t. But who cares!
