Are there any Gmail insiders who can comment on this alleged change? 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.

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.

Yea, the official public docs you link to say [Gmail]/Drafts.
I can't find any proof either way that we're using one or the other format going forward. Yes, I did look at stuff that is only on our internal network. I can't draw any conclusions from what I was able to find and read.

So there's your "Gmail insider", at least from my perspective, I really can't confirm either way any better than you can.

In that case, doesn't it make sense for countries that are "Google Mail" branded rather than "Gmail" branded (I think Germany and the UK are good examples?) have the "[Google Mail]/Drafts" folder, and regular countries will keep using "[GMail]/Drafts"?

Doh, that may very well be the issue here.
I didn't realize Gmail was branded differently in some countries. But I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. And if it did, then I'd expect it to follow through in everything, including the IMAP folder names.
In which case, [Gmail]/Drafts is probably the more common one seen in the wild by users, but a handful in the "other places" may see [Google Mail]/Drafts.

They were sued in the UK by a company that had already registered the trademark "gmail" iirc, which is probably why they are using Google Mail here.
I think leaving it as GMail is a sensible idea, adding the comment to try Google Mail at the bottom.
