Gmail enabling POP access
Posted by JLP on November 14th, 2004
I have just found out that the free e-mail service Gmail will enable POP access to your account. This will make it possible to read all the e-mail using your favorite e-mail client (I highly recommend Thunderbird). Some people can already enable this feature. If you are one of the lucky ones, you can just open Gmail settings and enable it on “Forwarding and POP tab”. Then just follow these instructions to set up your e-mail client (instructions for Thunderbird are here). I can’t wait until I will be able to turn on this feature. It would be even nicer if they also added support for IMAP access.

I am a proud Gmail user. Never worrying about email size, incredibly fast reply (powered by AJAX, a technology often used by Google), Web Clips,
automatic forwarding, one button - click search, advanced filters, labels and not folders, message preview, automatic refresh, auto-save messages,as-good-as-yahoomail spam filters, not one executable to be sent or received, feeling of having a different technology? A definite recommendation for
anyone that reads more than one email per day.
Have you tried Gmail? If yes, what's your taste on it? Why do you love it/hate it?
