The web search giant Google Inc. announced on Wednesday it will add Gmail POP3 (Post Office Protocol) support gradually over the coming weeks to Gmail users, offering its users to download e-mail messages from Gmail servers.
The new addition will let Gmail users will be able to transfer their server-based Gmail messages to a client-side e-mail application, such as Outlook and Eudora, and have the messages accessible when they are offline.
"We want to make it the best e-mail service in every single dimension so you have absolutely no reason to use any other," said Georges Harik, who is in charge of new projects at Google and whose title is director of Googlettes, the term the company uses to refer to this type of effort.
"This is a very important feature that every e-mail system should provide. We're going to make it easy both to transition into and out of Gmail so you can use the best possible e-mail reading interface,"
Google is also working on several other possible enhancements including anti-virus protection for Gmail users, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) interface for browsers that do not support JavaScript and WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) support.
