I have been using gmail with TB both set to imap for several years. this way I get my preferred user interface and the safety of keeping emails on the server and once in a while accessing my emails from another computer. I dont want to change this.
Posting this question to gmail forums gets no helpful response.
In G mail web settings enabling or disabling pop3 is independent of enabling or disabling imap. Why?
I had thought that I had pop3 disabled, but looking at it now I see it says
"Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/31/08"
"When messages are accessed with POP delete Gmail's copy"
and below that it is set to
"Status: IMAP is enabled"
When I log into my gmail account with the g mail web interface, I see that messages that I have already received w/TB are still there even months/years later. This is IMAP and what I want, but in g mail web
settings is:
"Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/31/08"
"When messages are accessed with POP delete Gmail's copy"
What's up?
tks,pa
