New Gmail funkiness

Update 2: It even lets you label all incoming mail from other accounts so you can tell at a glance where mail has come from. Even funkier. (2/3/07)

Update 1: Works like a charm, and even allows SSL connections (if supported by your ISP) which means I can use Internode's securemail features. Funky. (1/3/07)


I have no idea how long this has been going on but Gmail is now letting selected users collect email from up to 5 other POP enabled email accounts into your Gmail inbox. It will then let you have customised settings so that you can send email from your Gmail inbox but it will look like it was sent from your other POP-enabled account/s.

It can be enabled in the Settings/Accounts section. I'm in the process of setting it up with my ISP email address as a trial but it requires some verification and my verification email hasn't arrived yet.

I can see this being very useful.

Edit 2/3/07 19:23: I changed my original edit to an update. It makes more sense this way and fits in with the second update.
