Doesn't seem like it's for everyone. I looked into my gmail account and it is not offered... I don't really need or want POP access (1 Gig email on my own hard drive?!?? crazy). but, this gets me thinking to what other features I may be missing... I would have thought all gmail users would get the same features.

thanks for the info rowita!

it seems as though they are introducing it slowly.

Hey Guys,

I still haven't got POP support as yet. Guess I'll be down below the list.

But anyway, why does anyone require POP access ? I get ab8 10 mails a day and only ab8 one or two are worth keeping and those I keep, deleting the rest. This whole proces takes me ab8 20 mins. So why would anyone require POP ???

By the way, anyone's been able to fill up 1 GB of GMail ?? I'm trying hard.

If Gmail give Pop3 its good
but i think No

the "New Features" just re-appeared today in my gmail account. and the POP
option setting is now available as reported. will test it later when i get the time
to configure my email client app. POP would come in handy for my gmail account
which handles my profesional emails... it never hurts to have a backup offline just
in case emergencies arise.

alperuzi is correct, it's being introduced slowly. others may have to wait a bit
longer, but not too long i guess.

Ya. I noticed mine a few days ago too. Under new features... it was gone for a while but it came back and pop3 was in it.. Seriously though, i dont even need or want it. i used to like pop3 so I could use an emial client but, now I am used to gmail interface and it is pretty fast... so, i don't think i will use it.

I use to think pop3 is cool. But I don't anymore because it saves the files on your computer. I don' tneed the extra junk. And somehow when I delete the message their still on the computer when I search the comp files manually. Now adays I only use webmail. No need to waste space over stuff like that. I guess the onyl reason its good is that your not worried it can get deleted once its on your comp.

Hey Guys,

I've got the POP3 support under New Features today. I've now stopped using all other third party applictions like GPOP and Pop Goes the GMail.

I've configured my mail client The Bat and am downloading my mails happily evr since. I have even scheduled it under periodic common tasks.

From the mail address tracer, many people have found out the SMTP of google and have been using it unauthorized ; but now we all are authorized to do so !!.

Bye,
Bigyan

PS : I know how to find out the SMTP servr of any give mail id. Can anyone guide me on how to get the IMAP or POP3 server ??

I have also checked this new feature today. Now I am getting my mails in Incredimail. Gmail is now my official mail........
