"Mail Fetcher" , New Feature in GMail's Kitty!

and the innovation continues...

With google's intense user friendly feature additions that keep on happening as each day passes, this one should not come as a surprise.
Everyone today has multiple emails, how convientient would it be if u could fetch your email at one account. Neattttttttttt!!!!! that too without the hassels of you populating the POP technicalities (mostly)
They call it the Mail Fetcher, but whats in the name as they always say. But a cool feature indeed, i say!
HOWEVER
This feature is currently only enabled for a limited number of users.

but then theres something thats available to ALL.
google has just extended this idea to even customise your from address (eg. sending ur yahoo address in the From: field instead of gmail). Neat yet again!!!!!! thats the only thing that comes to my mind


You can do Both These settings by following the below simple steps, which are quote unquote taken from gmail's help page!

Enjoy!!

How do I customize the 'From:' address on outgoing mail?

If you'd like your outgoing Gmail messages to display another one of your email addresses in the 'From:' field (instead of your Gmail address), just follow these easy steps:

1. Log in to your Gmail account.
2. Click Settings along the top of any page, and then select the Accounts tab.
3. Click Add another email address in the Send mail as section.
4. Enter your full name in the Name field, and the email address you'd like to send messages from in the Email address field.

   *Keep in mind that each time someone replies to a message you send using a custom 'From:' address, the reply will be delivered to the 'From:' address rather than your Gmail address. If you'd like replies to be delivered to another account, you'll need to enter a 'reply-to' address. Just click Specify a different reply-to address to enter this information.

5. Click Next Step >> and then click Send Verification to complete the process. Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you'd like to add it to your Gmail account. You'll need to click the link in that message, or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail account, to complete the process. Once you've verified that you'd like to add the address to your account, you can start sending messages using your custom 'From:' address.
