Google email upgrade

Google email has added a new feature that lets you set up gmail to automatically read and store email from another of your email accounts. (Up to 5 different email accounts). I set it to read my main mail account and leave the emails on the account. I also set gmail to archive the imported emails and not place them into my gmail inbox.

I then set Outlook to leave my regular emails on the server for one day.

What this should do is to automatically store a backup copy of my emails to my gmail account plus gmail will apply it's most excellent spam filter to the incoming email.

All of this is for free of course.

PS: Not sure if this feature has been applied to all gmail accounts but it will be in the future.
