My POP access got turned on this morning. I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or not, but I applaud Google for making it free. That said, I'm doubtful that it will be free forever - seems to me that it undermines their business model. We'll just have to wait and see.
Also, it appears I'm not the only one asking for IMAP access.
I turned on POP access yesterday, and turned off the Firefox Gmail Notifier. It's nice to be able to access a cached off-line version of my Gmail -- one of the main turn-offs I had to using Gmail orginally.
A few months ago, I unofficially switched to using gmail as my primary account. This POP access is now the fulfillment of my wishes -- and makes me officially in Google's camp.
I wonder if emails accessed via pop will have the text ads embedded within them in the future? That seems reasonable to me.
My gut feeling is that they won't include ads in POP e-mail in the future. My guess would be that they are going to charge a la carte for some premium features (like POP or IMAP aceess).
To be honest, I'd be willing to pay a couple of bucks a month for some features (IMAP access for example).

If they really were whizzes, they would give us IMAP access instead of crappy POP access.
