Thank you, I thought it must be something like that. Should I change my account settings for my Gmail account? So that the messages do not remain on the server? What do other people do? Does anyone think I need to change any other settings? I don't want to end up with loads of messages everywhere… But equally, I don't want to lose messages, and I do use iPhone mail and Mac mail… Thank you!
