In the second “old news” post of the day, I’m really liking the IMAP support built into GMail now, since I can now use the native mail client on my phone rather than going to through the browser (and I prefer both to the GMail java app that is available for the phone itself).
I could do POP with GMail before, but POP has many drawbacks that IMAP does not. This feature is especially important to me, since I get a lot of mail and I’m often (sometimes all day) in places where my cell phone does not get service, so it’s handy to be able to sort through stuff offline and then sync everything back up when a connection is available.
