Gmail IMAP + iPhone + Leopard = TEH AWESOME
So, now that Gmail finally gave me IMAP access (THANKS, GOOGLE!), I have a pretty awesome system setup. IMAP access via iPhone to my main (Gmail Apps), secondary (.Mac address), and tertiary (old regular Gmail account) email accounts. I set up READLATER folders in all three accounts, so now whenever I’m on my iPhone and there’s something I really need to go over while at my desk, I just move the email into the READLATER folder. I also have a TODO folder on all 3. My iPhone just became much much more useful as an on-the-go computing platform.
Leopard’s incarnation of Mail.app is much more stable (so far; knock on wood) than previous versions, too. So now, I have a desktop email experience via Mail.app & IMAP that mirrors nicely my mobile experience.
The big test will be to see if Skype comes out with an update for Leopard, and if that can be tricked into working on the iPhone (from all I’ve seen, it appears that the iPhone runs scaled down Leopard, so theoretically, a scaled down desktop app with all the dependencies placed in the right places just might have a very very slim chance of working; Talk about an ugly kludge of a hack).

So no more Helio, eh?

I just installed Mobil Mail on my iPod and it’s working great but I can’t seem to get any folders to show up in Gmail IMAP. If I try to move a message I can only move it to the trash.
When I looked into creating folders either through webmail or Thunerbird I found it wasn’t possible since Gmail uses “labels” instead.
How exactly are you moving your Gmail to a “Readlater” folder?!
