It is also possible to fetch gmail directly with a pop3 text-client but there are some very specific settings you have to use in your email client to make it work.
Thanks.
Since, compared to most pop3 accounts I'm aware of, gmail has a huge quota, what happens if the e-mail sent to my gmail account fails to be forwarded to my pop3 because its over quota?
Is it true that text based clients avoid services like readnotify?
