Upgraded to Leopard, IMAP Gmail

I upgraded to Leopard last night. It was rather interesting and I even got some facetime with an Apple employee and a former Apple employee that had both worked on it (they were there in a non-official capacity of course).
I’ve also turned on IMAP, which is a different way of getting your email (better) on my Gmail account. This allows better sync with your phone or mail client. They just enabled the feature.
Some information on doing so:

UPDATE: 11/10/07, I tried using the Mail client for a bit againt to see if it’s any better now than just using gmail. Gmail still comes out on top for me, just because I have to be logged into it so much anyway to access company documents, analytics, adsense/adwords, calendars, etc. iCal/Gcal intergration still isn’t “there” for me, since it’s not a two way street for syncing. Yea, there’s some options out there, but they don’t work really well, and I have a LOT of calendars that I deal with. So back to Gmail for me for the most part. I should say I did REALLY like the Memopad thing in there and the fact that it threw the notes in my gmail account. Very useful.
I couldn’t even think of going back to using the gmail interface. The “rules” in Mail are so useful for sorting and organizing my incoming mail that I wouldn’t ever want to be without them.
