I found this pretty cool since I have 2 Gmail accounts and want to use it from 1 central location!

Check it out!

Thunderbird Portable does the job for me

Okay, well, I wanted a way to have a central location without installing extra software.
This was my way.

Now I open my main email account, and I see email from my other Gmail account and when I reply to it, it replies properly.

E-mails to A get a reply from A
E-mails to B get a reply from B (and not A)

But each to their own eh

lol my advantages outweigh yours

1. I have to install software once on my flashdisk
2. I don't have to worry about security since all my data is on my flashdisk
3. Once flashdisk is removed then there isn't a trace of data left
4. I don't have to sign in with any of my seven accounts
5. I can reply back to the person with the original email address
6. Each of the email accounts has it's own inbox/outbox

I use this already, very useful. Use Thunderbird as well but this means everything's stored in one email account, much easier.

Only problem with this which I've found is that you can't increase the "mail fetch" time of Gmail, default it's something like 40 minutes, and that sucks if you are waiting for important emails, so I'm not using it anymore.

Yeah that's why I forward all my accounts to Gmail, that way there's no delay.

Oh this. I've been doing this for several years now.
Yahoo requires you to be a premium member for half their crap.

I use it to fetch my mail from my student email account(I use to forwared all incoming email from student email to Gmail). Makes life easier for me since I get my mail on my phone.

You mean decrease the "mail fetch" time?
