Use Gmail with any IMAP client, including the iPhone: The big problem with Google’s Gmail (IMO) is that it is POP instead of IMAP. I can understand why, as IMAP creates a much larger server and client overhead. POP is simple: you either get a copy of the email, or not. My solution… [Seems doable… I’ll have to give it a shot.]
Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Amazing
But no longer necessary as Google has supported IMAP for quite a while.
