[QUOTE="mac57, post: 511371, member: 17052"] It means that you can set up Gmail such that when you access it, the emails stay on the server. You can see them from the iPhone, and any changes you make to them or your mailboxes stay on the server itself, not on the phone. This means that you see the same image of the mailbox from ANY accessing device, be it iPhone, Mac, PC, Web, etc. If you access the same mailbox from many places, IMAP is a really elegant solution.
