According to TechCrunch, Google has released a new feature into GMail called Mail Fetcher. Mail Fetcher allows you to use GMail as a POP mail client to access other mail accounts. So you can set up GMail to check your Yahoo! or Hotmail accounts. If your work allows for POP connections to its mail server, you can set that up as well. From the TechCrunch article:

Every other webmail service is now inferior to Gmail. Gmail offers more storage than any other free service. They offer free POP access to Gmail from other email applications like Outlook (Yahoo and Microsoft charge for that). They offer access to other email accounts within Gmail (only Yahoo offers that).
