Google has just added IMAP support for Gmail. This is something I’ve been waiting for a long time, ever since I signed up with GMail.
The problem from the user’s point of view has of course been that you can’t really sync your devices in a useful way. You can try to read it through the webpage, but since many mobile browsers don’t work that well with AJAX, you’re stuck with Google’s own Java application (which I never found that useful to be honest).
However, I believe this is a major step forward in true usability of the service for people who access their mail from multiple sources. Good stuff Google!
Have a look here how to add the IMAP support for your mail application.
I couldn’t add the support yet to my E61i, I’ll have to give it another try later on.

I guess they are experiencing some issues. It’s been 5 days and no IMAP support :)
Google - what’s taking so long?!
