Gmail Rocks!
I just found another reason why Google’s Gmail is just too cool. I’m still not using it as my sole email client, since I’m so very dependant on Outlook, particularly it’s disconnected features. Besides, I don’t like the idea of all my mail on Google because of privacy issues.
But whenever I travel outside of the IP range of my mail account servers, I can’t send email using Outlook since no one—rightly—allows relaying. So I have to reply using Web mail, which I hate using since spam is so nasty, and I end up having to copy stuff from Outlook.
But with the POP and SMTP access to Gmail, I can both read and, most importantly, send email through Outlook.
Very, very cool, and a big relief!
