POP and IMAP is what allows you to download messages from Gmail's servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird, even when you aren't connected to the Internet. POP and IMAP access are free for all Gmail users. If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP. Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time. iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Export Google Personalized Homepage Feeds to OPML - (Current Ses. Update on 2/1/2010: iGoogle no longer supports inline gadgets, which includes this module. The alternate OPML export method described by Google Operating System still works however. The recently released Google Reader homepage module makes it even easier to keep track of feeds on the Google Personalized Homepage. Unlike the built-in feed handling of the homepage, it keeps track of read state, can display item contents inline (in a floating bubble) and takes up much less room.
However, if you've been using the homepage's feed modules, moving the feeds to Reader is a tedious process, since the site does not provide an export functionality. I've created a simple inline module that adds an OPML export feature to the hompage. It does this by going through the DOM, looking for feed modules, and extracting the feed URL from them. Once you've gone through the module adding process (and allowed inlining), simply click the "Export OPML" button.
