Single point of failure? How so? You've been around long enough to understand how pop works Carlos. There is no "point of failure" introduced by popping one account with another.

Yes, there is. If I use gmail to pop the email from, say, yahoo, the email is no longer at yahoo (thats pop3, email is deleted from the server). If gmail fails, I loose the email from both servers, gmail and yahoo. That's a single point of failure. I prefer to have two or more different providers: if one fails, I'm still connected via the other. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I use fetchmail to pull from a few mailboxes and feed my gmail account.

I don't know how I handle the reply to in that case though.

You mean the sender?  That's easy, set gmail up to "send as" under the account settings.

I have it configured now. I am poping my ISP directly from gmail. No need for thunderbird running anymore.My only issue will be storage space eventually. -- ____________ Steven L Hess ARS KC6KGE DM05gd22 Skype user flamebait Cell 661 487 0357 (Facetime) Google Voice 661 769 6201 openSUSE  Linux 11.4 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
