Sorry you did mention that Importing it with rediffmail in the example box ..which seems to be sad
as rediffmail is a paid service the MAILS cannot be imported from gmail unless u buy the rediff pop3 access.
so next better put up a real working example !
anyway atleast you enlightened the starters..hahhah!

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?Thanks

I think you are right and so was Anonymous Ghost gmail is not able to identify the pop.rediffmail.com
I think we wil have to first pay to POP services…………

Hey mate,
POP3 access has to be enabled from rediffmail I suppose. When I tried to do the import I got the prompt:
Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
POP Server: pop.rediffmail.com
Port 110
