iPhone Update Re-Configures Gmail Accounts
posted by acaben on Wednesday January 16, @05:32AM
iPhone According to this Google FAQ, installing the iPhone 1.1.3 update will automatically update your gmail settings from POP to IMAP:
If you configured Gmail access on your iPhone by tapping the large 'Gmail' icon in mail setup, please note that installing software update 1.1.3 will automatically convert Gmail on your iPhone from POP access to IMAP access. This means that actions you take on your iPhone will now sync with actions in your Gmail web interface (i.e. messages you read on your iPhone will show up as 'Read' in the web interface). This also means that messages you delete on your iPhone will be moved to the Trash folder in the Gmail web interface, and thus deleted after 30 days. Please exercise caution when deleting messages, as this behavior is markedly different from POP access.

    Kind of impolite of the update (Score:3, Informative)

    Updates shouldn't change behavior if the old behavior is still "valid" in the new version. This is a very impolite thing to do, it requires that someone take an action to maintain the status quo.

    Not the first time Apple has decided what you want for you... but still worth pointing out that it's impolite to the end user.

    This doesn't solve the problem but there is a warning on the Google page [google.com].

    Don't you have to manually set your gmail account up for imap??? So if you were on POP on your account and on the iPhone, wouldn't the iPhone just quit working until YOU enabled IMAP on your gmail account?!?!?

    Isn't this kind of a non-issue??
