452142	2006-05-04 10:19:00	I'm trying to find a program similar to "G Drive" - "Gmail Drive", or whatever the latest version is called. BUT, I need it to work with a normal POP3 email account. I have been told that such software exists, but I haven't been able to find it online. Does anyone know what this sort of program is called, and where I can get it? (nb: There is a reason I don't want to use Gmail for this particular situation).	somebody (208)

(nb: There is a reason I don't want to use Gmail for this particular situation). Are you after a new online email account similar to Gmail/Hotmail with pop access, or an email client similar to Outlook/Thunderbird?	Rob99 (151)
452144	2006-05-04 21:04:00	No. I have an email account, which I want to be able to drag and drop files to. The "Gmail Drive" software creates a "G: Drive" in My Computer, where you can just drag and drop files to, and it will store them as emails with attachments on the email account. However, I want a similar program which will work with my non-Gmail account. Does anyone know of where I can find one (Googled for an hour last night with no luck).	somebody (208)
452145	2006-05-05 10:01:00	Bump.	somebody (208)
452146	2006-05-05 11:08:00	Don't know about the requirement you have but this is a better extension than the one you are using now: Gmail Space 0.3.1 found at: addons.mozilla.org	zqwerty (97)
452147	2006-05-05 12:14:00	Thanks Zqwerty. Unfortunately it's not exactly what I'm after - I want something like that program, but which will function with any POP3 email account. Does anyone know of what this program is called, and where I can get it from (I have been told by several people that such a program does exist, but they don't know what it was called).	somebody (208)
452148	2006-05-05 21:52:00	I would check with your ISP to see if they will allow this because it will be their servers you will be using and they may have limits. Just a thought.	wmoore (6009)
452149	2006-05-06 08:13:00	Since I don't use Gmail I don't understand the question but am interested. Are you saying that Google offer a POP3 access remote storage facility? Is that what you are after?	Winston001 (3612)
452150	2006-05-06 09:49:00	You can forward emails sent to an Gmail email, to a pop address.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
452151	2006-05-06 10:22:00	a) You can download emails via GMail using POP3 - Gmail supports it (free) so you don't have to forward emails first. b) Winston: Sort of - Gmail allows you to use POP3 to download your emails, and SMTP to send your emails. There is a program available which creates a "G Drive" in your computer, which looks like a hard drive, but actually puts files onto, and retrieves files from, your Gmail account by the way of emails with attachments. However, neither is what I'm after. I would prefer not to disclose the exact circumstances I am in, however, I: 1) have an email account with lots of storage space 2) am allowed to use this email account 3) have a fast connection to this email account 4) cannot use FTP or similar to put files into that storage space. So I want a program, similar to Gmail Drive which will let me store files on this email account "via" emails and attachments. ie. the program will store files as attachments on emails, and will retrieve them by downloading the emails and their associated files. I know such a program does exist as I've heard of them before - but I can't find out what the program is called, nor where to get it.	somebody (208)
