8) Gmail is life changing. Thank you google.
I am also a gmail fan-boy. It makes me crazy to see otherwise intelligent and tech-savvy people use yahoo mail or hotmail. You know who you are. It's almost as painful to me as seeing somebody use IE instead of FF.

- robotrout 17y agoI know. I feel for you. I actually purchased the paid Yahoo account for my wife, so we could pop3 her yahoo over to gmail. (they only allow the pop3 access for paid accounts).

- eru 17y agoNo problem, you can let gmail fetch emails of any pop3 or imap account. This is what I do with my university email account.
