You can either use gmail or the google apps (http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/editions_spe.html) to do this.
If you use gmail, then you configure the gmail settings to retrieve your other email accounts form whatever server they currently reside. You can then access gmail through the web interface and/or through a client such as Thunderbird, Evolution or Mutt via pop or imap. You can also configure your gmail account to send mail on behalf of your other email addresses. Its not hard. Takes only a minute. Just go to your Gmail settings and select Accounts. Follow the steps. The second option is to have Google host your mail entirely though their Apps service. Which has several different levels which range from free to $50 a year. To do this you have to have your own domain and what you do is setup the MX records for your domain to point to Googles. If you pay the $50 you get many other features as well SPAM filtering, and access to other items. As I understand it Google hosts the Apps on a different set of servers then what gmail actually resides on. This allows them to offer guaranteed up times and etc. On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 2:57 PM, Todd Walton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 2:44 PM, Gregory K.
