Waiting for IMAP on your Gmail Account?
After hearing the news that Google had added IMAP to it’s Gmail service, I was somewhat surprised to find that my account didn’t seem to be set up for it.
After fiddling a little I discovered that Google’s IMAP service is language specific, and isn’t enabled on UK English based accounts.
Log on to your Gmail account. Click on Settings. In the General tab, change the ‘Google Mail display language’ option to ‘US English’.
After a refresh you should now see the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ option.
Have fun!
