With Gmail you can get mail from other accounts

Gmail just got better.
Google quietly added a small feature to Gmail this week called Mail Fetcher.

Now Gmail can check for the mail you receive at your other email accounts. You can retrieve your mail (new and old) from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail.

Then you can even create a customized ‘From:’ address, which lets you send messages from Gmail, but have them look like they were sent from another one of your email accounts. Please note that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled.
This feature is currently only enabled for a limited number of users. We’re working on making it more available soon. Look for it in the ‘Accounts’ tab in Settings.

Every other webmail service is now inferior to Gmail. Gmail offers more storage than any other free service. They offer free POP access to Gmail from other email applications like Outlook (Yahoo and Microsoft charge for that). They offer access to other email accounts within Gmail (only Yahoo offers that).

Gmail’s mobile client is killer (although not yet available for most phones).

And only Gmail allows tagging of emails for categorization under multiple topics.

For me.. Gmail is the perfect webmail so far.
