In a move that’s bound to shake-up the free email world, just slightly, Google has added IMAP support to its highly popular Gmail service. The major benefit of IMAP is that it adds near instantaneous synching between your mobile email client and the Gmail server: changes you make on the move are reflected straight away in the web-based version.
For iPhone owners in particular, Google has posted a ‘how to set up IMAP’ video on YouTube (link here). For other mobile users (aka, the other 99% of us), you can find Google’s mobile Gmail support pages here — or of course you can forget all this IMAP stuff and simply browse to the WAP-based site at m.gmail.com
