The IMAP experience of Gmail is possible, but by and large ime it sucks. Gmail treats a email has having 0+ tags, IMAP implementations rely on an email being in 1 folder. This is a fundamental difference.
- staticfish 14y agoI think Gmail's IMAP implementation is a rather usable and clever hack, actually. By the way, everything is under one folder, both on IMAP and in the web interface. It's called "All Mail" (Archive)
- sp332 14y agoGP means that each email is under only one folder in IMAP. In Gmail it's possible to have multiple labels on a single email, and this is not at all elegant to hack into an IMAP view.
