Gmail: fetching perfection?

Gmail just launched an absolutely interesting feature that allows users to fetch mail from other accounts. I spotted the news via Techcrunch.

Yes folks, the mail fetcher allows users to access non-Gmail email accounts from within the Gmail interface, using POP parameters.

This actually turns Gmail into a web-based email client, which is a very smart move from a strategy-biased perspective too.

A big step towards the day the Web will be the platform apps will run onto.

[UPDATE] Privacy implications – on the long run – are not to underrate here, standing to Donna Bogatin @ ZDNet Blogs.

    The only thing is that this is still limited service and many accounts at Google still do not have it enabled

    They will enable it as soon as they get an optimal reliability. It has some BIG business implications, they won’t delay ;)
