Gmail And Other Email Account Integration

Just found out today that you can have Gmail check other email accounts of yours, so now I can have Gmail getting my Paradoxinc emails. There are several nice options with it that make it very useful and flexible to your needs. It can grab the message and keep it on the original server or delete it since you now have a copy of it in your Gmail account, or leave it on the other server if that is your preference.

You can also send emails from Gmail using different email addresses, which makes it easier for others to keep track of what email to use. So from Gmail I can send out emails as icarus.lnx@gmail.com or sellis@gmail.com in one place.

It also apparently runs the spam filter on it too so you can take advantage of that. I’m sure this has been available for a while but I thought it is very cool that I can use one webmail system for all my personal email needs, and with a 2870 MB limit I think that will go very far with me!
