Looking at the GMail’s javascript source gives a pretty good hint that Google is developing a service that will let you use GMail as a server rather than just a client, similar to what Yahoo provides. This article walks us through what he has found and imagines how a service like this would work.
One thought on “GMail Code Hints at Coming Feature”

This is what a digg auto-post looks like. It’s not bad.
The feature — which I don’t feel is described adequately in the blurb above — is the ability to have all the email on a domain (such as danpremo.com) handled by Gmail’s interface. I already tried this out with premo.name and Microsoft Live, which runs through Hotmail. Unfortunately I despise Hotmail, but I was intrigued by the functionality, and the premo.name domain was just sitting there unused.
As soon as Gmail unwraps this feature, I’ll switch premo.name over to it.
