What is a Mail Fetcher ?
Can someone me explain it to me how it works.

I dont think anyone actually knows...the best guess would be something like IMAP or POP access into Google (currently POP is only outwards).

You enter you password and login for msn/yahoo/any pop mail ... and Gmail retrieves all the mail,contacts

I would see it like that
