mail fetcher in Gmail

[21Rouge]

I see that Gmail has the feature that will bring in mail from other POP3 accoutns to ones Gmail account. It would be convenient to have my work email appear in my gmail account but so far I cant get it setup. Simple Q: Maybe my work email isnt POP3? How can I tell if it is POP3?

how do you read your work mail normally?I guess it depends on what kind of place you work for. Mine would never let me forward my email to a free web mail place. They don't even allow POP3 across their domain border. POP3 will send your username and password unencrypted, easy to snoop. I used that once to help someone out who forgot their email password, but had their mail reader software set to remember it, so I snooped on the net while they checked their email, printed out their password for them.

Nope, OWA is not a POP account. You won't be able to integrate it that way.
