Lode pointed me at a Tweakers.net article (Dutch) explaining that Gmail now supports access through IMAP and has more storage (4.3 Gigabytes). Downloadsquad also has an article about it.

This is great news. I have switched to using Gmail for all my mail (work and personal) for about half a year now, and never looked back. I especially like having access to my mail in the way I organize it from every computer and am an avid user of Gmail’s labels to tag my messages (e.g. Waiting, Later, etc.). Being able to use these features from within a desktop client makes the experience even better.

Thanks Greg

Now I only have to wait until it’s enabled for my account.

Update: IMAP support is now also featured on the Official Gmail Blog.
