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.
