I’m glad that you found the reply useful. As of right now, there’s really no way to change the interval of time for polling of your POP 3 accounts, you can however do a forward to Gmail which should be instant or hit the Refresh button in the Gmail inbox. Hope this helps, have a great day.

I have just checked with the hosting provider and they only support outgoing smtp authentication (username/password only) – no TLS or SSL support. Is there any other way to do this?

I am certain that the maximum storage space is 10MB, with a 3MB sending limit – just double-checked. It makes sense that Gmail would act as a “client” in a way and hence also store my email – I guess that I’m more concerned if it is allowed to use the Gmail free service to store email for my professional domain account. I would rather let Gmail pull the mail rather than have it persisted (especially if the latter involves changing MX records).

I have already add a POP3 account for my email address for Gmail to check – just wish there was some way I could control how often Gmail polls for new messages.

Thanks for your help and advice thus far…much appreciated!

With regards to the storage being 10MB…are you sure it’s not the sending limit? If your messages are being pulled from your host to Gmail then you need not worry about the emails taking up space on your host’s servers. You can tell your host to forward the messages or have gmail pull them. Let me know if you need help with the latter.

If you choose to use Gmail instead of your host to manage your messages you could tell your android phone to use Gmail instead and all of your information would be synced between Gmail and your phone. Hope this answers you questions…please let me know if you need any assistance or clarificaton.

Thank you for your excellent article! I’m making a concerted effort to simplify my life especially with regards to correspondence, and whilst it would be great to have everything in one place, I just have have 2 questions that I’m hoping you could answer (my apologies in advance if these are a bit juvenile!):

How does storage work out? My current host only allows me 10MB of email storage, and using Gmail servers to store my email instead (taking advantage of the 7.5 GB in particular) would be fantastic! Is this possible/allowed?

Secondly, will synchronizing my Gmail account (for my hosted domain) with my android phone (sent items, inbox, labels, etc) still be available?

Thank you!
