2. Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3. Click Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
4. Select Enable IMAP.
5. Configure your IMAP client* and click Save Changes.

I now have my iPhone and Apple Mail set up to use IMAP. This is awesome.

It’s probably just an illusion, but I seem to be getting targeted spam lately.

How targeted spam might work: A crawler goes out and indexes an email and context. It then uses the context to generate a relevant spam title and keyword text that can then be matched to relevant messages from a database of client advertisements. The filter-defeating cocktail is then shuttled out to unwilling recipients across the web.

This is horrible. It’s like adsense for spam.

Webmail needs an unsend feature.

Have an option to have outgoing emails delayed by a user-defined amount of time. Any email sent less than x seconds ago will be available for unsending.
