Gmail is now IMAP enabled

I'm not sure there was an announcement for this, but checking my Gmail settings, I noticed that IMAP was added. If you have had issues the Gmail POP3, you will like IMAP. Why? Your emails will remain on your device when synchronizing. There has been a lot of complaint regarding this. On each sync, already downloaded emails would simply disappear from the Inbox. I'm going to try the Imap.

You do have to go into your Gmail account Settings and enable IMAP. Also, it is still being rolled out so it hasn't hit all users yet. My account still shows only POP3 as an option.

Mine was enabled by default. Setting up on my Smartphone was easy and best, best of all, it works.
