Gmail surprises

October 25, 2007 in internet, web | No comments

I use Gmail as a central inbox for all my email addresses of which — between NAC and personal accounts — I have about a dozen active accounts. This helps me manage my email in a central location and leverage Gmail’s excellent spam filtering.

I just noticed that, not only has Gmail bumped up my mailbox to 4.3 Gb (when did that happen?), they have also quietly launched IMAP functionality! This is huge for me, it means I can completely sync my Gmail account on my Treo and in OS X Mail.app. Gmail tags become IMAP folders. All one has to do is enable IMAP in the Gmail settings.

I’m positively giddy.
