Virus, spam and phishing protection
Gmail uses powerful technology to effectively block viruses, filter spam, and alert you when you receive phishing messages. These features help provide a safer email experience.

IMAP, POP and mail forwarding
Download messages from Gmail to applications like Outlook and Eudora, or POP messages from another email address into your Gmail inbox.
