OK... so, GMail has no folders... it's all just one box. LABELS are like sticky notes on the messages, meant to help group things, and make them easier to search/retrieve. It's a different mentality from "standard mail" which is not "right" for everyone, but in getting used to it when GMail first came out, I found that for me it is FAR superior for handling large amounts of messages. YMMV.
To the second part... POP3 typically keeps track of which messages it once downloaded, and will not download them again, unless you force it to do so. That's probably why you're not seeing them fetched again.
