Does anyone know if this works with the Gmail iPhone app as well?



I wouldn't think so. The Gmail iPhone app isn't an IMAP email client, it is a proprietary email implementation.


I'd be very surprised, because you can't configure the app to use a particular IMAP server. You just give it your username and password and it does the rest.


it will probably "work" as they are abusing the network (it will probably screw up VPN configs) to hijack all imap calls. unless the gmail app uses regular http endpoints... which it probably does.


They aren't 'hijacking' all imap calls, you explicitly set up their service as your email provider, and email is proxied through it.
