How Can One Configure Gmail's IMAP on a Windows Mobile 6 device?
Gmail is giving its users free IMAP access to their inboxes and here's how to set it up:
1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings (details).
2. Open the Start menu and select 'Programs' > 'Messaging' > 'New E-mail Account.'
3. Enter your Gmail username (including ' [at] gmail [dot] com') in the E-mail Address field.
4. Uncheck the box to get settings automatically from the Internet and select 'Next.'
5. Select 'Internet e-mail' as your email provider in the drop-down menu.
6. Enter your name as you want it to appear in sent emails.
7. Enter a descriptive name for the email account and select 'Next.'
8. Enter 'imap.gmail.com' in the Incoming Mail Server field.
9. Select 'IMAP4' as the Account type from the drop-down menu and select 'Next.'
10. Enter your Gmail username (including ' [at] gmail [dot] com') and password.
11. Select 'Next.'
12. Enter 'smtp.gmail.com' in the Outgoing (SMTP) Mail Server field.
13. Make sure that the 'Outgoing server requires authentication' box is checked.
14. Select the 'Advanced Server Settings' link.
15. Make sure that the 'Require SSL' box is checked for both incoming and outgoing emails.
16. Select 'The Internet' as the network connection from the drop-down menu.
17. Select 'Done' and then 'Next.'
18. Select how often you want your phone to send/receive emails from the drop-down menu.
19. For more download options, select the 'Review all download settings' link.
20. Select 'Finish.'
TIP: If the POP/IMAP option isn't showing up for you, change your "Gmail Display Language" on the General tab of Settings to "English (US)".

I wish yahoo would offer IMAP instead of POP (and I wish it was free too!)
Great! At last!
