Now Gmail can check for the mail you receive at your other email accounts.

You can retrieve your mail (new and old) from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail. Then you can even create a customized ‘From:’ address, which lets you send messages from Gmail, but have them look like they were sent from another one of your email accounts.

Please note that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled.

Google Talk’s been integrated into many Gmail accounts by now, and while it’s pretty neat, the chat popup that appears any time you rollover someone’s name could drive anyone batty.

Happily Google expert Garett Rogers provides a Greasemonkey user script that disables the popup without having to shut off the chat feature entirely. Useful! Free download, Firefox and Greasmonkey only.
