Well, by default Gmail does *not* delete messages after POP downloading, only "fakes" deleting as far as the POP client is concerned. If you wish Gmail to actually delete the downloaded messages, you have to set a Gmail option accordingly: <http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13290> (Personally, I think IMAP is a much better option for working with Gmail -- folders map to tags, you have access to the "spam" folder, you can have the same messages available in various devices. And with 10Gb of capacity, most people shouldn't have a problem overfilling the mailbox. But to each his own.) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
