Re: Thunderbird And Pop3

I use pair.com for my e-mail and web site. Its like.. $17/quarter, plus the fee to register my own domain. Probably its vanity, but for less than $100/year I have my own web site, my own domain, and off-site storage of files I may want to share. I use pop3 and smtp, and sometimes the webmail function.
I just started using Thunderbird this week and I am impressed with its filtering and ease of use.
One question I am curious about though is this: If a site had Apple users, Windows users, and Linux users, and the site specified Thunderbird, would the training issues and look & feel be the same throughout the enterprise?

Eh, I think I found it in the Gmail Help Center: "Configuring your email
client: Thunderbird 0.x".

Hmmm, maybe I'll give this a shot when I get home.

I have to wonder, though.  How/why does gmail do this if I never have to see
the ads?  Doesn't that kind of blow their ad revenue?

For yahoo, you can do the paid service and get pop3 access
OR go the free route and use this:
http://www.ypopsemail.com/

I have been using it for about a year now with no problems.



Yes, but...  ;-)

POP3 will only allow you to retrieve mail, correct?  What if I want to use
the local client to *send* mail through my gmail or yahoo account?  (Is that
the SMTP part of it?)

IOW, I don't want to have to open a browser to read or send email!

Pipe dream?
