hello, nice, smart, tech-savvy people. I have IMAP at work. they don't offer me a check your mail online option

can I somehow get google to be my IMAP for my work mail? does this question make sense?

Looks like this is your guy -- (link) - oblique Apr 26, 13:12 1
- thanks. (how is this *free*??) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:27
gmail will not fetch from other imap accounts (unless they chaned the mail fetcher stuff). -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 13:04 3
- so I could pop and leave mail on server at work and then have gmail delete the mail? is that my play? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:09 2
  - gmail will fetch mail from pop3 accounts only, so if work gave you pop3 access, then it would do all the work for you. - tRuMAN Apr 26, 13:11 1
    - but if work is configured not to leave mail on the server, then... -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:13
Do they allow you to connect to your mailbox via IMAP from the public internet or just your work network? -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:01 8
- public. as long as I have an internet connection, I have IMAP. - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:03 7
  - i am guessing you dont want it to just got to your phone then? -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 26, 13:05
  - Is using a mail client like Windows Live mail out of the question? Works great with IMAP accounts -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:04 5
    - I want to *go looking* for work email. I don't want it to come find me. so I would prefer a web application. not a local client. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:08 4
      - *pop up behind a corner, and opens up trench coat, to reveal I'm not wearing anything else* Found ya!! -- nm - your work email Apr 26, 13:09
      - It won't work with your typical email services but there are "Web IMAP" services that will basically act as a web based IMAP client -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:09 2
        
        oh can you tell me more? (I'm on vacation next week. please don't make me take a laptop.) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 13:14 1
        
        See my link above -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:22
