How to handle multiple non-pop3 email accounts?

[networm]

Hi all,

I have so many email accounts which are really a mess.

I have yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, and in each domain I have several
accounts with different names serving different needs: some are for firends,
some are for business, and some are for work, etc.

Even worse, they are non-pop3 so I won't be check them automatically using
Outlook or Outlook Express...

I have to enter username/password one by one on webpages and that is really
slow and some times when there are no emails these actions are in vain...

Is there any webautomation email tool that works for all my web email
accounts automatically?

Thanks a lot.

Well you certainly can access Gmail by either Outlook or OE so that's one
off the list......

Yeah, if you pay... but I did not pay for all of these... that's why I ask
for non-pop3 email access...that is integrated...

There isn't any such thing. Since each webmail package has its own
interface you can't integrate them.

You could set all the accounts to forward mail to a POP3 account and then
use rules to sort them into folders.

No, Gmail access through POP is free.

That's good solution! But only for receiving emails.

After you forward them all to one account, and sort them into folders to
identify where do they come from,

but when you reply emails, you cannot directly reply from that centralized
email account, since otherwise your email account will be uneccessarily
disclosed. You have to go back to that separate email account to reply.
That's still bad.

One more thing, if I download from this centralized email account to
outlook, e.g. gmail is currently free with pop3 account, I download these to
outlook, can the folder structure in gmail account be maintained when
downloading to outlook?

But the above-mentioned problem still remains. You have to go to that
individual email account to reply...
