Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts

Posted by timothy on from the rock dept.

VaultX writes "Gmail has recently added POP3 services to their free email accounts. This would allow someone to use gmail without ever seeing any of their advertisements. They are also providing SMTP, both POP3 and SMTP are forcing the use of SSL/TLS. Very interesting...now where's IMAP and what's the catch?" It's being phased in, though, so not every gmail account yet has POP access.

    Uhh, ok. And you're saying that gmail isn't going to be someday soon.

    suso.org used to be a free service for the first 3 years it existed. But you eventually have to pay the bills.
