Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts
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.
IMAP and what's the catch?
apple decided to copyright it

/. in order to get an invite to use the POP3 access.
Apparently, you have to go around begging people on
and what's the catch
There's a delay in receiving emails to allow for the Chinese Government to authorise them?
If they start injecting ads into email...would every email i get be marked as spam then? Awesome! This sounds sooo useful.
Hardly a week after the coup on November 2nd, and they've already ripped the guts out.
This is precisely -- precisely -- what Hitler did after gaining power, except that instead of enabling POP3, it was putting people in concentration camps. But I mean, it's obviously the same thing, basically. Same general idea. Anybody who's seen that smirking chimp on TV can see what he's driving at. He practically said it. I mean when he said he was going to do stuff, like be in charge of the country. He thinks he's the president now, which is just like Hitler: The Leader. He thinks he's the leader of the country. It's incredible, it's so similar.
I mean it's just exactly the same thing. And nobody voted in Ohio. Nobody. It's all a scam. A total scam. A fraud. A child could see through it.
And now they're trying to make you look at ads on your Outlook. In your email, in the ads. It's so totally corporate. This is corporate, that's what it is, Google is a corporation, in case you hadn't noticed, okay? OKAY? The corporations all voted for Hitler.
God, it's so totally just like Hitler. And now they have the zeppelins, I saw a blimp over Boston today, it was red and white just like the Japanese flag when they were on the same side as Hitler. Didn't you know Hitler had the zeppelins? He did, they had the swastika on them on the tail, they used to be over the rallies in Germany, just like Ashcroft's blimp today. Just the same. Just exactly the same. It's phallic, because they're Christians, they hate black people, that's why. They made people rape Cameron Diaz, because she's black, they hate people.
I saw this coming but nobody listened to me, and now nobody can say it, they haven't said on CBS news that Bush is Hitler! It's censorship, stifling censorship, it's incredible that they have that much control over the TV news that the news can't even tell us the truth that Bush is Hitler.
Come on, guys, it's time to take a hard look at the situation and realize the truth - email is on its way out. Signal fires are the next big thing. I envision a great wall running the length of the US northern border, providing both line-of-sight for these fires, and protection against the Canadian menace. Can Gmail do that, even with POP access? I don't think so.
and if either of those don't work... well nevermind, I don't think you need three offers of gmail invites.
I think you missed a BETA there.
Free email for life my ass.
Well, you got free email for the life of USA.net...
Reminds me of the bank skit on SNL long ago. The bank would make change for you in any form you wanted, you could get 4 quarters to a dollar or a hundred pennies. That's all they did; they made change.
Anyway, in the commercial, the bank president says, "People are always asking us, How do you guys make money? Volume."
so beta beta beta beta beta?
mushroom mushroom?

Speaking of ads...
NICE SIG!

Sorry. I gave my Mom a gmail account. This pretty much ruined the chance of anybody getting 'geek street cred' from having one.
My apologies to all concerned.
SPAM! A SPAM! Oooo... It's a SPAM!
you're fucking nuts. Congratulations, nice troll.
Mother of God.
can't wait for gpop://
