For those of you who didn't already know, Gmail is now letting you configure Outlook (or whatever you use) for your Gmail account. That's a huge plus over hotmail and yahoo in my opinion. The main reason I won't use either as my mainstream account is because I can't have Outlook POP without paying. It's just nice being able to read mail through Outlook and also having it available wherever I go free of charge.

Configuration is a little trickier than normal, so make sure you read all of it... http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/...71568397997766

Mine's not running flawlessly yet. Sometimes it says the server isn't available so I'll have to check into that more when I have time.

 

hotmail offers pop access too.

 

not for free though...

 

I set my gmail pop account up and it works great.

Thanks for the heads up.
