New Gmail feature out! Fetch mail from other accounts!

Wednesday, February 28, 2007

Now there really is no reason why not to use gmail. This new feature lets you retrieve both new and old mail from up to 5 other accounts, and see it in gmail! I'm trying it with about 4 other adresses, and so far, its looking good! I no longer need to keep up with multiple accounts, passwords, logins, etc. It's all in gmail! Keep up the awesome work Google!
Now Gmail can check for the mail you receive at your other email accounts. You can retrieve your mail (new and old) from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail. Then you can even create a customized 'From:' address, which lets you send messages from Gmail, but have them look like they were sent from another one of your email accounts. Please note that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled. Learn more
Sadly, yahoo doesn't offer POP3 for free, so I can't access that account it seems. But, having multiple Gmail address, this is a great feature to have! Here's a quick screenshot:
