Thank you google. I asked them for this feature on the first of this month at http://www.google.com/webmaster. They were probably already working on it when i asked but i am so very happy!

Inbox.com offers free email with 5GB storage, 20MB attachments, .exe files!, photo sharing, synchronized folder storage, etc. Worth a look.

Cool,

I wonder if this will be a better mechanism for running multiple gmail accounts from one gmail inbox than the previous method I used:

” Gmail offers more storage than any other free service.” - Not true, Lycos offers 3GB with free e-mail.

Well, ‘perfect’ except for the slight problem that only a small minority of Gmail users can currently get it. Still, when this is sorted out I should finally be able to switch to Gmail completely (my website has IMAP email, so I can upload old emails with IMAP and then download them into gmail with POP, all without damaging the original timestamps as GmailLoader does)

When can I get the Fetch Mail function?
Thank You,

It is interesting is the Gmail spam filtering applies to such non-Gmail account as well as to Gmail itself?

If so, only this feature alone makes such integration worthy!

I still don’t have this yet either. I already use forwarding to get email sent to my educational institution (POP3 or IMAP4) email address. Google doesn’t know this, but they do know that I have gmail set up to send mail from a “@wm.edu” address; they could infer from that that I would probably be a good person to test this POP access feature.

I don’t have this feature yet! I’d like to have this feature! Darn you Arrington — and your little dog, too! I didn’t know what I was missing until you talked about this feature — and now I have to have it too!

[...] Tagging should be a feature of operating systems. It’s usually a superior way of organizing information v. folders because a file can be placed in only a single folder, but multiple tags can be associated with that file. It’s one of the reasons I like Gmail, because emails can be tagged with multiple descriptive terms instead of just throwing it into a folder. I find it much easier to find tagged items on flickr, del.icio.us and gmail, for example, than it is on Mac mail, my desktop email client that doesn’t support tagging. Properly tagged items are much easier to search for down the road. [...]

As of today I still do not have this feature. No one, as Fred (136) noted, seems to be complaining about not having it. Does anyone have any idea when all users will get this?

[...] Despite recent problems, I think Gmail is now at least as functional as most desktop email applications (like Outlook and Mac Mail), and darn close to perfect. The reason? Lots of storage, the ability to tag emails and the recent addition of POP access to other email accounts. All for the great price of - free. [...]

BlueTie offers more storage than GMail for free, twice as much in fact. This hardly seems revolutionary, other email services offer this, is it that you can get it with a free account? Of course, you can’t get your yahoo mail via pop unless you upgrade to a paid account so that’s not really free, and then why not just forward your gmail to yahoo for free, with the exception being you don’t get the from address feature?
