Is there anyone who has had any experience moving GMail 'Sent' messages

I understood that POP only allows downloads from one's WebMail 'Inbox'.
Accordingly, I used the GMail WebMail feature to mark some of the
messages I want to transfer for movement to my local PCs Seamonkey
'Inbox' to my GMail's WebMail 'Inbox'.
After I did this, I asked SeaMonkey to download my GMail 'inbox' from
its usual location on GMail's WebMail. Nothing happened and the moved
e-mail simply remained in my GMail WebMail 'Inbox'. Accordingly, I must
have dome something stupid.
Can anyone help me sort how to download the e-mails I am trying to
transfer? Thanks, in advance for any and all comments, help, or
suggestions.
Gmail won't allow you to download mail to a POP client unless you go
into its settings and allow that feature (it's disabled by default).

Here's how to enable POP in Gmail:
1. Sign in to Gmail.
2. Click the gear in the top right.
3. Select "Settings."
4. Click "Forwarding and POP/IMAP."
5. Select "Enable POP for all mail" or "Enable POP for mail that arrives
from now on."
6. Choose what to do with your messages after your POP client or device
receives them.
7. Click "Save Changes."

AFAIK once you have the messages in your local mail client you can't
send them back to any webmail, including Gmail.
Can you please explain that last "you can't send them back..." bit?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean as I use gmail using POP3,
Web, and IMAP and I've no problems in saving, viewing, sending using any
of them (well, except for the Web interface which I only open to use
gtalk). In my POP3 settings I have 'Leave Messages on Server' check, so
my POP3 does not delete any messages unless I purposly delete them.
OK, I was assuming that you were not leaving messages on the server. So
what you're doing is creating a local copy of what's on the server. No
problem there.
With my assumption, though, only one copy survives, the local one. And I
know of no way to do the reverse -- to make an exact copy of your local
messages to your webmail the way you can copy a file from one disk to
another. You can certainly forward messages to "yourself" (your
webmail), but that's not the same as making an exact copy, because the
forwarded message will have a different date/time stamp, plus all the
other forwarded headers on top of the original ones. If that serves your
purpose, though, it's fine.
