Multiple POP clients with GMail

How should I use POP on mobile or multiple devices?

If you're accessing your Gmail using POP from multiple clients, Gmail's recent mode makes sure that all messages are made available to each client, rather than only to the first client to access new mail.

Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.

If you sign in to Gmail using your Blackberry, you're signed in to recent mode automatically. For all other POP clients, replace 'username@gmail.com' in your POP client settings with 'recent:username@gmail.com'.

6-year Old Computer Saved

Due to a hard drive failure which led to file system corruption, the 6-year old AMD900 box running Ubuntu has been dead for over 2 months.

Just like what happened to the 5-year old iBook, after some good rest, it boots back up, with some help from fsck, everything seems to be smooth again :)

Good news: I just saved a bunch of $s .
