same here.
using dovcot to handle my local folders.
works like a charm for several years.
I use IMAP wqo expunge to keep a backup on gmail.

Oh, one more thing. Try to change the frequency of pop check.

BWT I use gmvault to download all mail from gmail to my pc.

It's easy to access email by IMAP instead of POP. That may or may
not fix it, but either way, it gives you some info.

I don't use imap because I don't want to sync my Claws mail to Gmail -
just to download new mail.

Euuuu, I can think of nothing grosser (American meaning, not "bigger")
than syncing an email client to that rotten garbage bin called "gmail".
But nowadays you can use IMAP just like POP: Download and expunge. The
following is the part of my .fetchmailrc that retrieves then deletes my
gmail litttest mail. I'm sure you can do the exact same thing direct
from Claws.

poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP
         user 'litttest aatt gmail.com' there is 'slitt' here
         pass 'my-ultra-secret-password'
         #portnumber 993
         limit 50000000
         warnings 3200
         expunge 60
         mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
         fetchlimit 50
         ssl;
