Gmail accounts now free for all
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Google has quietly announced that anyone can try our a gmail account, including features like large storage capacity and POP3 account access.
- In other words, now you can send an e-mail from you@yourname.com instead of you@gmail.com, if you want.
- Why is this a big deal to me?
- Well, for one, that was the only feature stopping me from switching away from Yahoo Mail for good.
- Now I no longer have that excuse.
- The new feature doesn't allow you to check POP3 mail through Gmail, but you can hack it by setting up a redirect from your POP3 account to your Gmail account.
- With a simple rule, you can automatically label mail from that account accordingly and reply as if you were managing that POP3 account.
- Learn how to enable this functionality on Gmail's help page.
- Once again, count on Google to offer a functional and simple solution that Microsoft would have spent two years trying to solve.
- Oh, and Gmail is now open to everyone, too.
- The only catch is, if you want an account, you'll have to send a text message to Google requesting your account.
- Seems kinda weird to me, but I'm sure the big G has an ulterior motive relating to its upcoming mobile phone ambitions.
