I hope they will be deploying it for hosted, own domain Gmail accounts as well as the standard ones.

I'm glad Google is doing all they can to make their online mail service the best there is, I thoroughly enjoy it actually, but why do they refuse IMAP? My Gmail inbox is a complete mess because everything is only organized as far as Mail.app is concerned. The Reply button was nice, this is useful for those who use several Mail services, but all it is is POP3 on the web. I'm currently configuring my .Mac Mail account to give it a shot, surprise surprise it only pulls Mail from a POP3 server though. *few minutes later* My Test email went through, it works just fine I guess. And as I said, it's just POP3 on the web. Funny thing is I predicted something like this some months ago in a Blog Post I deleted in favor of a whole new blog. Sebastian Color me confused.
