Gmail and IMAP

Finally it happened. And I think it was about time it happened! Gmail finally opened IMAP access to its mail server (okay may be already a while ago, but still I didn’t know), after billions of people (okay millions) kept crying, praying, chanting, and did hunger strikes (how do you say “grève de la faim” in english??) so that it happens. What does that mean? Jeez you can finally leave your emails on the server and access them from different clients so that all your emails are available at all locations at the same time. While for POP users, once you dumbly forget to close a client application (like the one on your computer that you access only once a month), well that application keeps sucking all your new gmails, so that you need to go on the website when you want to check if new mails arrived (cozy you can get very very worried when you don’t get emails for a week and wonder why).

Now basta! All these dark ages are over. Thanks Venerated Spaghetti Monster! It finally happened! You listened to us!
