IMAP is now available on Gmail. Looks like its only on select gmail and google aps accounts, not everyone has it, i encourage you to check. I did, i found it, i love it.
I'm using mail.app with my google aps account and i love it (the enable IMAP feature still hasn't appeared on my normal gmail account).
Gmail is the best email around. Its does have one achilies heel, it not really on hte desktop.
You've been able to POP your gmail to Thunderbird or Apple Mail for a while now, but who wants to do that. Its really inconvenient for multiple devices. Google was keeping things going with some of the best clients made for email. GMAIL Mobile is the best way to get mail on your phone, I used it instead of the native mail client on my Blackberry Pearl.
It was a slight annoyance, but the unbeatablity of Gmail really made this insignificant. All was right with the world until the iPhone came along. The lack of 3rd party dev. on the iphone (apple says that they'll open the IPhone up for Feb 2008) made gmail a real hassle. Google engineers are obviously on the job, and have started testing the new IMAP service.
If you're not seeing it in your account settings, hopefully you will be soon.
