^^^^What xsarien said... where have you been? IIRC Pop access have been available since sometime 4th quarter last year... because I was attempting to link my tmobile phone to it.

The POP access link has appeared in my account today. Sorry if you have better luck than me and have got it ages ago.

I'd like to use thunderbird but I can't access my hotmail accounts with it so I'd need to switch to gmail. Can anyone send me an invite or 2 my way? I've got 2 hotmail accounts I'd like to transfer into gmail accounts. Thanks!

Oops forgot one thing:

andredaigne@hotmail.com

evaotaku@hotmail.com

If anyone wants to send me an invite. Thanks!

This has been available for ages now. Matter of fact, I set this up about a month after I got my Gmail account last year and I've never had to visit GMail's site again.

I sent invites to both of them for you.

What's the point of webmail when you're gonna use POP3? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Free email address of your own choosing, and easily accessible when on an unfamiliar machine.

Let me know when it supports IMAP. POP is so 1990.

Kinda. It does have two benefits though: you can use Gmail as an alias e-mail address and you can still take advantage of their crazy attachment restrictions if you ever need to. Also, women love men with lots of Gmail invites.

Advantages of using it as POP? Well, first of all, there's the obvious web-mail advantages of also being able to access your mail away from home. I also use the Gmail notifier which notifies me when I receive an email along with who it's from, what the subject is, etc. so that I don't have to open my mailbox unless I want to read it right now. I also have it set up so that when I delete the mail from my inbox it's automatically archived. This way you have no email on your hard-drive but have it all backed up on Google's servers and can search through it using their system. Basically, best of both worlds in all categories.
