Gmail "Mail Fetch" option

MrAcid · 12-12-2006, 04:58 AM

Very interesting new feature coming up for Gmail users. Within the next few weeks, a "mail fetch" feature will be added. This will allow you to download POP3 mail to your Gmail inbox.

This is such great news! Really, really useful!

Hey, yes, this is a cool feature. I don't think anyone else has done this before.

Actually, I've seen other free email providers offer this in the past. In fact, I think Hotmail did at some point.

I never found a use for it, though. If the other mail provider offers POP access, they almost certainly offer email forwarding as well.

Goodness, you're right. I never knew. I guess this is one thing in which Yahoo's been ahead of Google.

Anyone who has the function already..? I'm still waiting for it..
