When it was first introduced, IMAP was only enabled if your language setting was “English (US)”. It works now for “English (UK)” too, but maybe it is still not available for all languages?

I don’t know man. I thought they rolled it out to all accounts by now. I think they only thing you can do is wait.

what do I have to do to get that IMAP gmail thing … :(
strange how the feature pops up to some users only

I checked earlier, and it wasn’t there, but looking again just now it is! Yey for faster Gmail on my iTouch :D

Yes! I got it! And it’s actually pretty fast working with Thunderbird.

If you are waiting for it, go check it again now! :) If you don’t have it yet, you are probably using Gmail more than I do.

I think that there’s something to what “jambarama” said above. I just got IMAP access enabled on my other (much less used) gmail account while my main account still only has POP. :(

I’m waiting too! i only have IMAP enabled in my Google Apps account but not in my Gmail account.

@Muhammad: use Thunderbird! it’s way better and faster than Outlook.

Man, gmail IMAP kinda sucks. The service is too slow on my Outlook 2007, and it keeps getting disconnected on Outlook Express.

Looks like I’m back using POP with Outlook Express.

THIS IS *()*$)(*#)(*$#!!!

Yep, I’ve been trying to figure out why I am being treated as a second class citizen… is it because I depend on it too much?!
oh well, who ever has it since 2004.. let me know if you got ir ot not..

@Muhammad – I officially hate you now! ;)

@jambarama – lightly used you say… Sigh, this means I’m not getting my IMAP in a long while then, because there is nothing light about my use of Gmail. Then again, my mailbox is only like 15% full so I’m probably not the heaviest user either.
