Google Rolls Out Mail Fetcher for Gmail

Google is launching a feature called Mail Fetcher that lets you check your other email accounts from Gmail. But that's not all. Google explains:

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.

To check if Mail Fetcher has been enabled for your account, see if you can find Get mail from other accounts under your Settings->Accounts tab. Set up instructions are located here.

Mail Fetcher looks like a killer feature for Gmail. User won't ever have to leave the confines of the Google domain to check their other email accounts, and I imagine the effect will be immediately felt by other webmail providers.
