Configuring gmail POP mail clients

POP, or Post Office Protocol, lets you download messages from Gmail's servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook Express or Netscape Mail, even when you aren't connected to the Internet.
POP access is free for all Gmail users

You can retrieve your Gmail messages with a client or device that supports POP, like Microsoft Outlook or Netscape Mail.
To enable POP in your Gmail account:
1-Log in to your Gmail account.
2-Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page.
3-Click Forwarding and POP.

4-Select Enable POP for all mail or Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
5-Choose the action you'd like your Gmail messages to take after they are accessed with POP.
6-Configure your POP client* and click Save Changes
