gmail now supporting IMAP

this is such a long awaited feature that just pushed Gmail past the other free web mail services like Windows Live Mail and Yahoo Mail, with their larger space capacities and more "up with the times" features. Gmail's added support for IMAP now means that I can sync across my phone, Outlook on my desktop computer and any other device that supports IMAP. I'm glad to see they came up with a way to translate their tagging paradigm into the hierarchical "folder" structure that IMAP uses.
