Hey,<br />
<br />
Having a squirrelmail instalation on my own mail server is it possible to export the mails I got in gmail to my squirrelmail ? or can I make squirrelmail check-out the emails ( via pop3 or something ) from gmail ? ( I know squirrelmail can checkout via pop, but gmail requires auth and stuff which I don't know if squirrelmail can handle ! )

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
