Gmail is a nearly the best email client. It has a lot of advantages, big storage(you don’t need to worry about the email backup problem), preview the attachment in browser, easy to search mail, filter, label, and many crazy things in the Gmail labs.
Later, Gmail support that pop3 mail import What makes Gmail is a email client. You can use Gmail as a email client if you supply your email address and password.
This is a cool stuff, I use it to check the mail on the hotmail.com.
But there is only one thing make things a little imperfect: Interval of checking new mail is settled – 30 minutes. Because of this limitation, I cannot use it instead of Outlook , because 30 minutes is too long.
Today, I suddenly think that there must be some plugin which could help me to solve this problem, because Gmail support checking pop3 mail manually. Why must I do this boring thing ? Click ‘Setting — Account and import — check mail now — go back to inbox’ , this is foolish , right?
At first, I asked Google, I searched ‘gmail account import check mail now’ but found nothing help. Then, I opened the GreaseFire extension of Firefox browser, typed ‘check’ in the filter box. Guess what? I found that.
After installed it, a new will link appear at right top corner of Gmail page:
The interval of checking pop3 mail changed into 2 minutes, of course you can check your mail manually just by only one click!
Enjoy.
