Under "Settings" in the log-in page, if you have a "POP and Forwarding Options" tab, then its enabled.

Not all accounts are enabled yet, its a gradual roll-out but they do not seem to be notifying that its done.

292257 2004-11-15 04:11:00 It looks very good, and from what I read, apparently they do not intend on charging for it in the future. somebody (208)
292258 2004-11-15 04:14:00 That's interesting and impressive!

I hate webmail... :D

292259 2004-11-15 04:20:00 Goddie can you explain a bit further? forwarding to them or possible other mail progs?
so if i got G mail, i could have it sent to me elsewhere? mail prog wise.
or are we talking forwarded to g mail account?
having not got G mail now wonder whether i should have.

or is it likely id just get more spam than the already 20+ a day on all existing accounts?

292260 2004-11-15 04:31:00 You can forward it to any email account it seems (its happily forwarding to an Xtra one at the moment) plus access it from OE, Outlook etc and not just via webmail).

But I stress, not all accounts are enabled yet.

292261 2004-11-15 04:36:00 Bless you for the head up Goddie. Now forwarding to a paradise account. I wonder if you can comma separate several addresses, one way to find out I guess ;)

292262 2004-11-15 05:11:00 Awesome, but what would really do it for me is an offline mail client with the GMail interface. Would be much nicer than outlook.
