GMail POP is non-standard.
Generally speaking, each message can only be popped once.
Whether or not the message stays on the server is set by the user

The choices are ...
keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox
archive Gmail's copy
trash Gmail's copy
However, it seems that you can reset GMail's pop list clicking
on ...
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been
downloaded)
... and "saving the changes".
This will allow you to download a new copy of ALL your e-mail.

Thanks Ronni,
I had discovered this before when I was playing around with Gmail
(and flooded my inbox with thousands of duplicate emails).
I guess that's my final answer: "GMail POP is non-standard"

Hi David,
Perhaps another option.
If you need to access your mail from multiple computers, you would be
better off with IMAP, which Gmail does not currently offer.
Some free ones that do:
bluebottle.com
fastmail.fm
inmail24.com
galaway.com
