GMail and HTTPMail protocol

I am willing some day GMail let users access their inboxes through HTTPMail protocol because I haven't been able to download my messages through POP3 at home and because POP3 access at work is forbidden. The only email service which uses HTTPMail protocol I know is Hotmail. If you do know any other, please, let me know about.

Dear BillG,

Increase my email storage to 1 GB and cut out the obligation to log in at least one time each 30 days and I'll keep using Hotmail.

There's an Italian Software (with a good English manual) that allows you to download your Gmail messages thru HTTP and serving them via a local POP3 server (so you have to configure accordingly your favorite email client).

It's URL is http://freepops.sf.net ...

Bitbreaker,

I have used FreePOPs and it is really great as a POP3/Web interface bridge, but, in my case, did not work well for SMTP. Moreover, everytime the web interface changes, the program stop working and you have to download a new LUA file or new program release.

Anyway, thanks for the comment.

Yes, It's true: everytime the UI changes, the software stop working BUT Gmail interface didn't change so much...yet.

There's another (italian) software that allows you to have a SMTP/Web bridge: HTML2POP3 by Baccan .

Google it...and let me know...eventually.
