Howto: Configure GMail with IMAP4/SSL on Nokia S60, Windows Mobile, iPhone, Sony Ericsson UIQ, Blackberry

Yesterday Google announced the rollout of free IMAP4 over SSL access for GMail. This allows you to keep your Gmail message state information such as whether or not a message has been read, replied to, or deleted synchronized across any IMAP4 client on desktop or mobile device such as Nokia S60, Windows Mobile, Windows Mail Desktop, iPhone, Sony Ericsson UIQ, Blackberry, Outlook 2003/2007, Thunderbird and Mac since these flags are stored on the server unlike POP3.

Here are a few resources to setup and configure IMAP4 over SSL for a multitude of desktop and mobile clients:

Nokia S60
Sony Ericsson UIQ3. This tutorial points to a help guide from Synchronica. Just substitute Synchronica’s server names with Google GMail’s IMAP server.
Blackberry
Apple iPhone
Motorola Razr (Note: External guide, similiar to Sony Ericsson above)
Windows Mobile
Outlook 2003
Outlook 2007
Thunderbird
Windows Mail Desktop
Outlook Express
Mac Apple Mail

To enable IMAP in your GMail account, goto your Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP and select Enable IMAP.
Tip: If you don’t see an IMAP option yet, change your language/locale settings to US English and sign in again.
