How to view POP mail in a web browser

Question

I have an email account with my hosting package. Is there a web service that will allow me to view my emails from any web browser (to simulate a Gmail like experience). So far I only know how to do it via the Mac Mail app and my iPhone.

Solution 1

You can still use gmail and add your hosting email account as a POP3 account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287

Which clients does the link talk about? Why not put them in your answer?

The other answers I'm sure were good, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Good but I won't give you a +1 on top of the one you have, because you pathetically just quoted their marketting blurb. Anyhow, yes it is a good site i've used it many times, been around a while, I put it to good use a number of times 10 years ago.. and no doubt it's still going strong.

Giving the asker a bunch of names he wouldn't recognize didn't seem the best way to answer. The link takes you to a page that gives a screen shot of each client's look and gives a small description. The main point was that he could install his own webclient.

There is no way to export emails with web2mail and I could not make pop3 to work either.
