So Gmail has free POP access? I like to keep my email locally like I do
with AT&T. So far I have saved almost 27,000 emails from this list
alone. I'm a pack rat. LOL
gmail has pop - you can leave the mails on the srever, remove them.
imap - leave them there, shift them off to the local machine.
it's all good it all works. I use the method you do - pop it off google's
servers and read it locally. Except I'm ruthless with deleting mail - stuff
gets nuked after 14 days and after that I use google to find a thread on an
archive somewhere
I just set it up. I haven't been on gmail in a long while. I'm glad my
password manager remembered the password. Anyway, after checking on the
website and finding the instructions and settings, it was a breeze. I'm
soooo glad I asked for advise here. I had no clue GMail had this for
free. What's up with Yahoo? Last I saw they charge for this.
Now to go test sending emails. I have never done that with anything but
my ISP before. If I disappear for a few days, I screwed it up bad.
LOL For future reference, my gmail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] just in case
you see a nut posting with that email address.
Thanks again.
