Gmail is IMAP now

That's great news. If you had seen my earlier post on "How to upload all your old mails to Gmail", well all that fuss no longer required. Just configure your gmail in your favourite email client (outlook, thunderbird, etc) as guided here. Open your old mail file (.pst, mbox, what ever). Move/copy all your old mails to Gmail box. That's it. Now all your mails are online. you can access your mails by logging into gmail from any computer any browse any OS. Is not it great
