Brad, gotta say, this product has legs… I’m using it at work (all Pop3) and it’s very useful indeed. So here’s my problem… At home I use hotmail and Gmail… gmail is the main and I have been using IMAP… I see from the post above that it’s possible to use CC if I run gmail in Pop3…. Is that possible? Gmail’s install/setup pages for Outlook only suggest IMAP. Please advise.

Thanks for the info Brad, I’d been using POP up until the IMAP announcement. Now for the real dilemma… POP/IMS versus IMAP.

Drew – thanks for your interest. There are a number of technical limitations that make it difficult to implement IMAP support. We would still like to build this functionality into the product, but we don’t anticipate it making into a near term release. Watch the weblog for future updates on this issue.
In the interim, you can access your Gmail account via POP and use Outlook and ClearContext if that is of interest.

As a new ClearContext user, I’ve been totally stoked about finding a way to make Outlook usable for email. (I’m already locked in to calendering and task management) I was just as stoked when Google announced IMAP support for Gmail. Finally! I can combine the advantages of Gmail and Outlook, using ClearContext to wrap everything up! Or so I thought, before finding out that ClearContext doesn’t support IMAP despite it being on the roadmap for a couple of years now. Is there any chance the new version supports IMAP? If so, lemme know so I can wait, as I really don’t want to keep looking for my ideal solution. (I’ve already looked pretty hard, I’m fairly sure you guys are as close as I’m gonna get right now.)
