Gmail Adds POP3

Gmail adds POP3 and SMTP support

With the new feature, you can read and write emails with your favorite email client, such as Outlook Express. Read the help for detailed configuration guide.

Important Note
Keep your emails on the server
The most important features of Gmail are large capacity and search function. Thinking about when you have 200MB emails on Yahoo or Hotmail, but without a powerful search, it would be horrible to locate certain email, also, it's safer to keep the emails on Gmail than your local computer.
I use "Outlook Express" as my email client, Gmail help has detailed guide for it, also has an auto configuration program, but you must modify the configuration if you want to keep your emails on the server (see the image below). I suggest you config it manually by following the online help.

I don't need pop3 so much like the beginning, after used Gmail for several months, I'm very satisfied with it, especially I lost some emails on my computer when Windows XP crashed :-).
I love the following Gmail features:
1. It's big, I don't have to delete emails.
2. It's safe.
3. It's convenient, the innovative label and star functions.
4. The powerful search.
5. Best spelling check, it's even better than Office, I think Google got the best JavaScript experts to make a online program so powerful.
