Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean as I use gmail using POP3, Web, and IMAP and I've no problems in saving, viewing, sending using any of them (well, except for the Web interface which I only open to use gtalk). In my POP3 settings I have 'Leave Messages on Server' check, so my POP3 does not delete any messages unless I purposly delete them. To download all messages received messages, I've found this to be helpful: <https://support.google.com/mail/answer/47948> I also BCC myself on any messages that I send (POP3/IMAP/WEB) & that way I have a copy of the 'Sent' messages regardless of what method I use.
