It's working for my account and is great on my iPhone. I hated having to delete messages two times, once on my iPhone and again on my Macbook. It's also much nicer being able to have my Gmail folders show up now.

It looks like the older Gmail accounts are the first ones to use IMAP with
Hope it's coming to mine as well soon...

That isn't true. I got Gmail when it first started and enabled POP when they first offered it and I still don't have IMAP access.. Oh well... We are just going to have to wait until Google stock reaches $700.00 a share before they do a complete rollout.

Guess I'll have to wait as well.....doesn't seem to be available for my account either....Sure will be nice......

it worked for me flawlessly. you have to go to your gmail account on the web. then click settings on the tab forwarding and pop/imap on the buttom you will see imap access. click to enabled.

then thats the time you have to set on your iphone.

As already stated, this is not the case. My older personal account doesn't have it, however my new account that I use for work purposes only does have it.

While we're on the topic, does anyone know a way to make GMail query your external mail faster? I've not found a way to make this possible....

What I'm talking about is I have it setup so that I'm using gmail to pull my mail from my work account, which is great, however it does it at purely random times. Any thoughts? Thanks!

This is great!!! The only problem I see is that if I delete a message off the iPhone, its gone. Would be nice if there was a way to have the iphone garbage can just archive the mail

edit, nevermind... I realized that when you set this up it creates two new Labels in your Gmail. One for Sent (from iPhone) and one for Deleted (from iPhone)

excellent! works great! i can even access all my "folders" now!

Try this iPhone config link. You have to use different port settings than what the iphone defaults to...

For those of you who don't have it, it's true, Google has not rolled out imap support for all it's users. Keep checking though!

no imap

nice, works great for me. now I don't have to deal with the weird gmail reply messages showing up in the inbox on my phone

For everyone who's unfamiliar with IMAP email, get familiar with it - it's the best thing since... well gmail. I have an IMAP account for my work email. I have a desktop, laptop and the iPhone. With IMAP, when I read, delete, move, etc an email on any of computers (or phone), the changes are reflected everywhere. Everything stays in sync. No more dealing with "unread" emails on the laptop when I've already dealt with them earlier on the desktop. The thing that bugs about pop is that when I'm at my computer and I receive or send a gmail email, I have to deal with it both on the phone and the computer. To me, "unread" should mean unread - IMAP lets me live the way I like to live. I'm thrilled about IMAP gmail (possibly more than the iPhone itself).

Now if only IMAP would show up as an option on my gmail account. ...still waiting.

We have three gMail accounts and the only one with IMAP available is my wife's...and she couldn't care less. PLUS my account is from the Alpha period, too. So no preferential treatment for gMail "elders".

Murphy's Law, I guess. Doesn't mean I won't be checking my primary every hour, on the hour until I see it up and running!

When I try to configure taking all the steps required, I get a message that says "Cannot Connect Using SSL Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL? I try yes and No and either way it cannot set up the acoount. Please help...
