Welcome to our information center for Mail Fetcher. Gmail's Mail Fetcher can 
download messages from up to five other email accounts, centralizing all your 
email in Gmail. The tabs above have information on setting up Mail Fetcher, 
as well as troubleshooting tips for the common problems users face.

so, you get all your email accounts sent to google, and you use the web 
interface? or your mail program with gmail IMAP..
does each email still show what account it was originally sent to?? double 
headers?
