Hi Rayna, Remember that another great way to use Gmail or any other mail service with the Mail app, is to set it up as an iMap account. Depending on how you set your pop account up, it might download your messages to your Mac and delete them on the server. By using iMap, you get the best from both worlds, both web mail when you are away from your Mac, and the more advanced features of the Mail app when you are using your Mac. Also, your notes, drafts and so on will be stored on the server when you work on your Mac, and ready to use when you are on the web mail again.
To create an iMap account, see the pop-up in the account setup wizard in the Mail app. Just a little tip....
