The big difference is that there is no "client setup". Will it be for everyone? No, but eventually, the feature will just be there and people won't notice the difference. Alec and Dean,

The main reason for something like this is to have your gmail account work just like your office mail does in MS Outlook. The big difference is that there is no “client setup”. Will it be for everyone? No, but eventually, the feature will just be there and people won’t notice the difference.

The people that would have the know how on how to do this may not bother to do this because more that likely gmail is a second or third account. I have a gmail account but it's one I use for backup.

It's microsofts' hotmail that has only just enabled pop access. So this is, what, a desktop email app from google? I'll stick to my current one that handles all my other mail accounts too.
