I'm scratching my head because we were talking about IMAP being delivered near-instantaneously. netb0y mentioned that his GMail was instant and I simply pointed out that GMail has BEEN instant for a while now, so that in itself wouldn't mean there was a change with how BIS is handling IMAP. You then state that GMail being instantaneous WOULD mean there was a change because it was taking 15 min like all POP mail should. I AGAIN state that it wouldn't, because GMail HAS BEEN instant for a while now, so it would NOT mean there was a change in BIS and IMAP.

You're contradicting yourself; that's why I'm scratching my head.
