I was messing around with my Gmail email account which i never really had any use for. For years i was using “mailwasher” to detect spam and it did a great job but i found out that you can setup Gmail to access your “POP” mail account and download the mail for you. So what you might ask? Well this is fantastic for a few reasons.

1) Gmail will detect the spam emails you get
2) You can access up to 5 POP mail accounts at once
3) Your Emails are all stored in the one place, no more messing with Outlook Express etc and moving your email archive around, its all online in the one place.
