My Google Gmail IMAP4 feature was turned on earlier today (Oct. 25, Thursday). The first thing I did was test it with a T-Mobile Dash (Smartphone AKA Standard Edition) running Windows Mobile 6. And, yep, WiMo’s Messaging (email) works fine with the new Gmail feature.
Google provides step-by-step instructions to configure Windows Mobile 6 to work with Gmail and IMAP4.

However, experienced WiMo users may find the less eye-glazing generic help page faster to go through.
Google Mail Help IMAP Configuring Other Mail Clients
Google’s IMAP service seems a lot slower than service on other IMAP servers I use. However, it may simply be because of all the new clients being configured and downloading email. I’m hoping this will clear up (speed up) within a couple of days or weeks.
Addendum: Hey, I just noticed my Gmail storage is up to 4.3GB. When did that happen?

So you aren’t having issues with HTML e-mail only being downloaded as headers? Thats interesting.. I set up my Gmail IMAP access as well and seem to be having that problem with only HTML email (text mail comes in fine). Any tips?
