Pipe your pop3 out to gmail
This is a great little trick that I learned a few month back, and has been particularly useful since getting my shinny new iPhone. I use pop3 to download my emails to Outlook on my desktop computer and I use lots of folders and sub-folders to keep my mail organised. And then every now and again I take a mad run at my emails deleting everything that I recon to be delete-able.
This all works fine and well, but I had two problems:
- I don’t have access to mail on the move
- I loose the occasional ‘vital’ email in a fit of overzealous deleting
So I thought about these problems for a while and came up with what is so far proving to be a very successful solution – I set-up a forwarder on my server to forward a copy of all my email to my gmail account – google has about 7GB of space allowance – so I never need to delete another email – and I can always get access to email on the move.
This solution earned itself a double thumbs up when I recently got my hands on the new iPhone – it comes with a built in google mail application – so now I can really stay in touch while on the move.
