My apartment has DSL but it is just provided by my landlord for Internet surfing, no email POP 3 account. I don't think this gizmo will do me any good because it appears to require an in-place POP account as well as a Hotmail account, right?

He wants to be able to read his Gmail off-line, write replies and then upload then again when he reconnects. MacFreePOPs, MailForward or POP access to Gmail don’t seem to be for him. He wants a dedicated app to do the job: Yes, I realize that I could (possibly) configure Apple Mail, or Mozilla, or something to sort of do this. But it seems more attractive to have a small, lightweight, dedicated app to do this, rather than fool around with a big fat app. [...] [...] Stowe Boyd, “a well-known media subversive” is not so happy.
