Competing Email Services

[thewarrior]

Hmm.. It looks as though they are competing for features again.

GMail is now offering POP3 Access, but you have to wait for them to put it on your account. Check out their article here: http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=10350

Yahoo! figured they had to compete, so now they are offering POP3 access, and they haven't done that for their free users since 2000..

GMail also offers their users the chance to forward all of their mail or select messages to another email address, and now.. Guess what? Yahoo! is doing it too. I have no clue about hotmail because IMHO, Hotmail SUCKS! And I stopped using it years ago when all I got was spam.

There are MANY MANY new features to come, and I can't wait. Keep your eyes peeled.

I know that Yahoo's going to give me 250MB sometime this month, up from 100MB, but still nowhere near the 1GB China gets. But I still don't give a damn, because I was failing to fill up half of my quota when it was at 6MB.

Yahoo didn't have POP3? What the heck have I been using all this time then...

I know that Yahoo's going to give me 250MB sometime this month, .

One of my Y! account shows 250MB and my two other accounts are still showing 100MB.

yahoo did provide pop3 for its uk users, but us free users can also use the pop3 and smtp server as well; I know this because I've already tried this last year and it works fine.
