No More IMAP For GMail?

I woke up this morning to discover that I can no longer access my GMail account (using Google apps for your domain) via IMAP. It just returns an error saying that IMAP is not enabled for your account. The IMAP option has even disappeared from the web interface, now only allowing you to enable POP access. The same is true for a second Google Apps for your domain account that work uses.

I guess that’s what you get for using free stuff but it really stinks that there was no notice given.

UPDATE 10 minutes later: Wow, complaining on your blog really works – suddenly it’s back. Not quite sure how you mess up the web UI and the actual IMAP system at once though – perhaps someone deployed an old version….
