Gmail has just added full-on IMAP support, and it's awesome. And by awesome I mean totally sweet.
This has pushed me over the edge. I'm finally ready to use Gmail as my primary email provider. Now that I can access all my email (including my old archived mail) however I want to from whatever client I choose to use, whether that's Gmail itself, Thunderbird, my iPhone, or good old Pine, Gmail is perfect.
Google, you rock.

I haven't got the upgrade, but I have some idea on how to enable it for users who don't have the option in their panel. For someone who's got imap, please put your mail in basic HTML mode (on the bottom of the page) and then go to the settings and select Forwarding and POP/IMAP. The url should show something like ?v=prfap, but not exactly the same.. That's maybe the point to get it

For people using only one device, it's quite useless. I use two devices, but I really don't see any usefulness of IMAP.
