Using Gmail To Access Other Mailboxes

Gmail can be accessed using a web browser or by using a standard POP3/IMAP4 email client like outlook Express. It can also itself be configured to act as a POP3 email client, which means that you can use it to:

  • Combine multiple email accounts/addresses
  • Access a mailbox that doesn’t normally provide webmail access using a browser.
  • Access a email account that is normally accessed by a fixed desktop/laptop client from a different computer e.g. from an Internet cafe.
  • Use your own domain name but use Gmail for email storage and access.
  • etc

In the article on the main site you can find out how to configure Gmail to Access other POP3 Accounts
