Google fine-tunes Gmail's IMAP access options

This is pretty cool for those of you using Google Mail (gmail) with an IMAP client, such as an iPhone, Apple Mail, Outlook Express, etc.

It allows you to essential unsubscribe from given folders. Finding the option was a little messy though. First you have to login to the webmail interface for GMail, then choose Options at the top right, then Labs, then scroll down and enable advanced IMAP settings.

Google fine-tunes Gmail's IMAP access options: "Google now gives people some precise control over how other e-mail applications can use Gmail with IMAP. It's minor, but shows the wisdom of Google's approach."
