FreePops -- Read Web Mail In Your Mail Client

FreePops is an interesting program that will allow you to read email from a very large number of supported WebMail sites in your mail client of choice (Thunderbird, Outlook, The Bat!) etc. It does this by setting up a simple POP3 server on your system that will get the mail from supported Webmail sites and route it to your mail client. Different web mail sites are supported by plugins written in the relatively simple LUA programming language -- the author provides and maintains some while others are written by third parties.

While the program is not that easy to set up, once you have set up Freepops and new accounts for the WebMail sites you use set up in your mail client, it seems to work well. There is quite a bit of documentation available as well as a forum where help from users is available in several languages. If you would like to be able to read web mail from a number of different web mail sites in your favorite mail client, FreePops is definitely worth a download.
