Is it for everybody? Is it only for new accounts? If I ask google about "gmail imap draft folder", I seem to be getting '[Gmail]/Drafts' version, and not the '[Google Mail]/Drafts' version, e.g. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78892 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=82367 It is not that I think John is talking BS. If there is a transition of some sort, we may want to keep the more prevalent one in the main example, while suggesting minority one as a ballback altenative.
