I suppose the heyday is over, it's time to migrate to something else. Oh, I won't be able to POP push gmail to my new email address, nice.

There is an opportunity for someone to make a low-friction service which does server-side forwarding via IMAP with decent anti-spam. If done right, you could soak up a significant chunk of the Internet email biz.



POP doesn’t do push, only pull, and it seems that gmail will still support clients using POP.

There is no chance another email service will get any chunk of Internet email if it has to charge for services.
