pop3 email checker by mad_onion on 06-26-2004 at 10:58 AM

i just got a gmail account:D (no invites yet) and wanted to know if i could use the email checker to tell me about mail i get if so how do i find out the server number

There is no way. GMail does not provide you with a POP access, so you can't use it in Plus, or Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.

What KeyStorm does not seem to know, however, is that there are programs you can use to make it look like a POP account to Messenger Plus!, so you can check it.

One of these programs is POP Goes the Gmail. You can find it at http://jaybe.org/info.htm, where quite a lot of information can be found, and there's also a forum for questions.

Other sites are http://www.marklyon.org/gmail/ and http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=169789.
