I was sitting on the bus this morning wondering how long it’d be before I quit checking my Gmail account on my iPhone. After reading and archiving 25 messages during the workday, I’d open up my iPhone mail on my way home from work only to find the same 25 messages marked as new and waiting to be deleted. What a headache! Not anymore…

Gmail IMAP has solved this inconvenience by enabling IMAP for your Gmail account. You can keep your Inbox synced up, no matter what client you’re browsing your mail with. Suddenly, checking mail on the iPhone has become useful.

Read the official post and watch a video tutorial on setting up Gmail IMAP for your iPhone.

Bonus: Gmail IMAP also works for hosted Gmail addresses (through Google Apps).
