Gmail launches IMAP
October 24th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product Manager
News is coming in from all over the web about Google’s Gmail launching IMAP support for their email service.
What’s IMAP?
Gmail is the first major email service to support the IMAP protocol which is a good way to keep track of email in multiple ways. Every email that you send, receive or move into a different folder all remain on a server. This means you can use Outlook on your PC at work, OS X mail at home and Gmail on your mobile phone and all applications would stay in sync.
Boxbe for Gmail
We expect the Boxbe for Gmail service will continue to work as it currently does, even if you enable IMAP for Gmail. If you experience any service problems, please let us know.
