All well and good but I can hardly use it on my phone can I I want it become proper pop3 (ie hosted on the googles server as pop3).
One of my mates has had a gmail account for a while. I forward the link posted above to him. He mentioned he has some spare invites, so i have an account now too, woo! Will try this later for sure, i miss pop3.
why the hell do you need a gig of space if you are downloading it to your outlook account??!! just go with one where you don't get targeted ads!
I haven't noticed any problems at all. Now as to why pop3 would be good - for me - I really like the interface of Outlook - but I often travel and end up at Internet terminals and whatnot - that's why this makes so much sense for me.
I must agree, the ads are not bad at all.. The have the same appearance as the usual google ad-sense ads on the right of your search results.. -scoob8000
