Hi Jason, I am looking at the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" settings in Gmail. It tells me that POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since Dec 12. It is also set When messages are accessed with POP that it keeps Google Mail's copy in the inbox. (Another option is to archive Google Mail's copy.)
Can you explain how to avoid the issue you mention about account syncing? Is this something I turn off in Google Mail? I have all the emails in that hotmail account (there are thousands and thousands of them) and I would hate to lose them.
