I was starting to wonder what 16,000 people were doing over there.

The nice thing is that tags are folders and so you can use POPFile (http://popfile.sf.net/) to do automatic tagging.

Does anyone else NOT see the IMAP options in the settings tab? Is this a feature that hasn't gone live yet?

I have the IMAP option (and using it on my iPhone and Mail.app), so it is live... though only to select accounts - dunno how they decide which ones get it first though.

Labels are seen as folders on the mail client, starred messages as flagged, etc... Google did a good job.

Just checked and it's there... "Forwarding and POP/IMAP"
