Re: All things Gmail.

Just a point to mention about the forwading.

I notice from the help about the new features that forwarding is

It's free during the test

.
I suppose that they may be charging for it at some point?

Has anyone found the way that it analyses the message your reading & displays similar links annoying etc?

Re: All things Gmail.

In what it is billing as "e-mail portability," Google Inc. is opening access to its Gmail e-mail service from desktop clients and mobile devices.

On Wednesday, the company began providing free POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) access on Gmail accounts. The rollout is expected to reach all users over the next two weeks, said George Harik, director of Googlettes, the name of the Google group overseeing its startup services. ADVERTISEMENT

"This [access] is an important part of e-mail because of all the things not enabled by Web-based e-mail," Harik said.

POP3 access, for example, allows users to read Gmail messages while they are offline and on mobile devices that support the standard, Harik said.

POP3 is a standard protocol for receiving e-mail and communicating between an e-mail server and client. Most major e-mail clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, support the standard, as do competing Web-based e-mail services such as Yahoo Inc.'s mail.

Once activated, Gmail's POP3 support retains e-mail on Gmail servers by default while downloading copies to another client. But users also can choose to completely move messages off the Gmail service, Harik said.

They are doing them one set at a time so it will take a while before everyone gets pop access, I have yet to receive any invitations to give out other than the first one that I gave to a member of this forum where as others get lots of invites to hand out. That shows the random nature of some of the account updates that happen. POP access will be sorted out for all accounts, it will just be a case of being patient :)

Re: All things Gmail.

The help already tells you what to do.

Re: All things Gmail.

I still have 1 or 2 invites hanging about on one of my gmail accounts which I may give out.

Dont use gmail much just for a email sending place away from my ntl one when Hotmail is updated I may go to the premium service they offer.

However with gmail getting pop access and everything else if it remains a FREE service then I shall remain interested with them.

Anyone wanting a gmail account can pm me I have about 2 left after family and friends accounts being made.
