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.

GMail has been a great tool I’ve used to help keep track of alot of my work e-mails, marketing articles, details on promotional products etc. and have them indexed by a powerful search algorithm – and access them anywhere thanks to Google
Forwarding useful resources, articles, links to my GMail account has proven to be an effective archive/record keeping tool for me.If you haven’t been lucky enough to receive an invite to the GMail service (I’m saying lucky – but i’m sure you know someone by now who has GMail and is willing to invite you) you can now receive invites directly from the mothership itself.
A text link at the bottom of the search engines home page reads:Advanced spam filter, instant search, 2.6GB. Get Google Mail.Visit google.com.au to get your invite. Simply click the link at the bottom of the page, and enter your mobile phone number, and Google will SMS your invitation code.
Cool Bananas!
P.S. I can see alot of people signing up friends for a joke.. just to see Google as the SMS sender on their mobile phone displays
