Google support POP3 and Forwarding Service

That’s right….Gmail has finally rolled out their POP3 and Forwarding service. All Free!

According to google, they will be rolling out this service by phases and within the time frame of 2 weeks, every Gmail user will be able to Enjoy their POP3 and Forwarding Service.

I have already got my service up and running… 😆 and I can say that it is quite nice to be able to use Gmail through Outlook express, but…it is still quite buggy, for example, it will take up to 4-5 hours before the new message will actually show up in your outlook express inbox! (for me anyways). But they’re getting there. I expect the google team to work all these issues out within the next 2 weeks.

The type of mail client the POP3 service will support are:

# Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 (and older) (Windows)
# Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 (and older) (Mac)
# Outlook 2003
# Entourage 2004
# Entourage X
# Eudora 5.1 (and higher) (Sponsored & Paid Mode)
# Eudora 5.1 (and higher) (Light Mode)
# Netscape Mail 7.x
# Netscape Mail 6.2
# Netscape Mail 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7
# Apple Mail
# Mozilla 1.7
# Thunderbird 0.x

So if you’re a Gmail user…in 2 weeks…expect some sweet changes.

THANK YOU GOOGLE! 😀
