Hi Saravanan, You don't need a separate GMail account, as others suggested. I use GMail as my client, and I have FILTERS set up to catch any R-Help, etc (really anything that comes from a specific address), archive the message so I don't see it in my inbox (unless someone is replying directly to me in addition to sending to R-help), and then I can view the emails at my leisure.
