If you're like me and have five different email accounts, you'll be thrilled to know that Google just launched a useful new feature called Mail Fetcher. With Mail Fetcher you can access up to five email accounts within the Gmail interface using POP settings. Now you can have all your email in one place - the easy to use Gmail zone! I love the fact that my morning email checking ritual will now exclude visits to hotmail, yahoo and my old university account.
Check out Mail Fetcher for instructions on how to set up Fetcher on your computer.

I am sad because this isn't working for me. It keeps timing out. What should I do? I know that they should work because they are both hotmail. (well one is hotmail one is msn) What am I doing wrong?
1I love it!
2Pinkrabbit: I also had the same problem with my hotmail, and after googling, it looks like you have to subscribe to one of their (hotmail) paying services to be able to use POP.
3Let me see if it works for me, I'll get back to you pink.
4Bah, how incredibly annoying that you have to be a Hotmail subscriber to use POP.
5I have also tried the mail fetcher with my hotmail and it doesn't work, but it works great with my comcast account.
