This may be totally unrelated, but I notice that if I change my language from English (UK) to English (US) IMAP settings appear, and then if I change it back they disappear - so that *might* be why some of you aren't getting IMAP. No new version even when I switch to English (US) though - possibly because of the fact that I use Safari, which is confirmed to make Gmail cripple itself in other ways (e.g. no integrated GTalk).

That actually does affect it. You must be using English (US) to get IMAP. I remember reading that when it first launched. I dunno how much longer it'll take before everything else is supported.

Still waiting for IMAP (Since I live in the US, obviously English US is selected). My account was created in the first month or two that Gmail was out, so it definitely isn't going by when the account was created.

IMAP is still pretty useless for anyone that requires most of the gmail features. You cannot use your clients delete button, instead, you must drag it to Gmail/Trash, otherwise it will stay in the All Mail folder. Also, moving emails to a label on your client will only do the single email, not the conversation.

Overall, it's really just not worth using anything but the webmail interface. Hopefully google will come up with their own client though.

Not true on my Treo... not true at all.

I just noticed the new version of Gmail. I'm not sure though if I like it, though. I've noticed that it kind of takes sometime (longer than before) to switch between folders (Inbox, Sent, Trash,...), but viewing messages appears to be faster. (The Contacts changes is something I don't see myself raving about and it's really slow) I do like that I can now use IE7's search bar to search my messages (can even use the advanced operators)! :) And the new way to create and edit links is better.

All of my accounts now have new version and IMAP, including the two googlemail accounts (UK but set language to En-us) Have to say IMAP is a lot easier, wish my live.com account had it :)

I've got it, but I have a question for everyone who has it. Is anyone else experiencing random lockups and crashes when using Firefox with the new version?

I have 2.0.0.9 (but it happened with 2.0.0.8 also) and have Firebug installed (which I disabled for Gmail according to the instructions they provided). I don't have any other Gmail-related addons installed either.

look at the upper right of mail.google.com it will say either older version or newer version that is actually a link so if it says older verson you are using the newer version

i didnt even notice the difference in the 2 even switching back and forth

if course all i do is just send a plain text email to people
