Google introduces IMAP to fine-tune Gmail

Saad Ali Abbasi 

imap_grab Google launched Advanced IMAP Controls which allows users to tune-up their Gmail IMAP experience. You can enable the controls on this Labs feature easily, just go to the Labels tab under Settings.

There’s a Show in IMAP checkbox next to each of your labels there, if you uncheck that box and the corresponding folder will disappear from IMAP.

You can also choose:

  • Which labels to sync in IMAP
  • Turn off trash messages

The IMAP allows users to mark messages for deletion, and that’s sort of a limbo state where a message is still present in the folder but waiting to be deleted. Whereas most IMAP systems do not follow Gmail’s concept of deleting from the folder right away.
