Just launched!
Get mail from other accounts:
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. Learn more
This feature is currently only enabled for a limited number of users. We're working on making it more available soon. Look for it in the 'Accounts' tab in Settings.

With your own domains you could just forward them to gmail anyway? But still i prefer using thunderbird than using a web based mail. Could come in handy for checking email on the move, however the mail box i use is provided by my isp which i can check online anyway.

Nice feature but zero use to me.

I set all my emails from my @mixin2.com account to forward to my gmail account whilst i was travelling, because i couldn't find a decent mail script to use on my site.
It's good that they've integrated pop access into gmail, for a couple of reasons, but i'm not gonna explain why, because it could take some time and i'm not in the mood

I use IMAP rather than POP3 so it's no use to me either, but i'm sure it's handy for others
