Seemingly answering the cries of Gmail users everywhere, Google has announced a new feature for their growing email service. The new addition will allow members to use POP access to check their mail

POP access will allow users to check their Gmail accounts using standard email clients like Outlook. Google states their feelings on the matter on What's new on Gmail page: "It's your mail. You should be able to choose how and where you read it. Access your mail the way you want to, with free POP access and automatic forwarding. You can even switch to other email services without having to worry about losing access to your messages."
