I just received the “Google Friends Newsletter” and there are some pretty exciting news. First of all we will be able to use Gmail with the IMAP protocol – this means better sync on all computers and devices you use to access Gmail. An extra bonus – that I find very useful is that this feature is also enabled on Gmail working on your own domain – Google Apps. I’ve been using Google Apps on my domains and I am also recomending their service to all my clients. Can’t wait to have the Gmail Mobile (link works only if you access it from you mobile device) java application available for Google Apps! (do you hear me Google?)

Here’s the exact excerpt from the newsletter:

You now have the ability to use the IMAP protocol for Gmail (including Google Apps) free of charge. Unlike the POP protocol, IMAP enables you to keep your inbox synced across all devices, so that whatever you do in your email — whether on your phone, desktop mail client, or web browser — shows up everywhere you access your email. Reading, sending, deleting and other actions you take on your messages are reflected automatically and instantaneously any place you get Gmail.

There are also some other rumors about an enhanced version of Gmail – Gmail 2.0 that comes with optimized java-script back end rewrite. Screenshots and other info on Google Blogoscoped.
