woohoo! Same day that MS shuts down free access to Hotmail from within Outlook, Google POP3 access becomes active.
do you have to open the ports on your firewall
# Click the 'Advanced' tab.
# Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Outgoing Mail (SMTP).'
# Enter '465' in the 'Outgoing mail (SMTP):' field.
# Check the box next to 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)' under 'Incoming mail (POP3).' The port will change to 995.
i have tried this in outlook 2003 and am getting errors

Well, I sorta disagree that POP3 is so wonderful. If you have it set to leave the message on the server, then you have two copies of the message to deal with. First, you sort the local copy, then you have to sort the online copy. There is a lot more to deal with. Synchronization becomes a pain. IMAP would be good, but with Gmail you then have to deal with the fact that there are no folders, only tags, and there can be more than one tag per message. Using POP3, or IMAP, with Gmail, just doesn't work 100% properly. Instead of adding on this feature, here is what I think Google should do:
1. Allow users to send out email from any account they own. If they can receive mail at james@yahoo.com (verified by a unique key), then they should be able to send from that account.
2. Allow access to other POP3 capable email accounts (a work or school account). This would allow a person to download all of their work email to their big, no deleting necessary Gmail account. Of course, because of (1), they would be able to send from this account as well.
3. Produce software to integrate Gmail with the user's operating system. An example is a mailto handler, which would allow Gmail to be set as the default mail client. Then plug ins such as the Webmail extension for Firefox would be unnecessary. Additionally, if a user has a new email message, it should show up on the windows login screen (Sam Tihen: You have 3 new mail messages).
4. Produce software that would add functionality to the users browser. A prime example of this is something like the Spellbound extension for Firefox, except with better inline spell checking similar to Word. Additionally, adding (cross browser) drag and drop functionality similar to Microsoft Exchange Server Webmail.
5. Provide cell phone and PDA versions for email access. Good ones...
Basically, what I am saying is that they already have a wonderful start on making email clients unnecessary. With a few enhancements, they could provide a product that I could use.
Currently, I use the paid version of Yahoo Mail. It does 1, 2, and 5.
I used to use an exchange server. It was slow, and had little storage space. And it was expensive.
Thats all...
