According to numerous reports in the press, Gmail is now going to be available for download using POP3.

This is a very useful facility, as it will allow people to access their mail when they are away from an Internet connection by downloading their mail to their favourite mail client – something they have been unable to do up until now.

From what I read, Gmail are rolling it out over a number of weeks – it still hasn’t been enabled on my account so I don’t yet know how well it will work.

By the way I still have a few Gmail invites, if antone wants one, feel free to contact me.
