I think "recent:" only means that the client (TB! in this case) should download mails that have already been viewed by other clients. So, I am surprised that all the old mails were being downloaded when you took it out... Google works in mysterious ways. Try this: Account / Dispatcher / New messages only TB! will download all headers of mails it would download; download would start if you hit that botton on the top left. However, don't do that. You have four columns (Read, Receive, Delete, Open), and they can be toggled with crtl-1, crtl-2 etc. Leave the tickmark at Read for all messages but hit crtl-2 to clear the tickmark from Receive. The effect is that TB! will mark all messages as Read, so it won't download them again next time, but it won't actually download any messages. You can go to the bottom and manually click and add the tickmark again on those messages that you do want to receive now. Only those will be downloaded. Now, hit that down-arrow on the top-left corner. This is how it works with "normal" POP accounts. It should work with Gmail, but who knows what other "user-friendly" unintuitive ideas Google has come up with. -- Cheers, Thomas.
