Hi guys,

How do I configure the N900 so it receives my Gmail messages from POP3?
I have too much emails so I can't use IMAP

Thanks

uhh so you've done some research and decided you want to use pop3? just enable it in your gmail account, and add it to "email" or whatever email program you've installed. there's like 20 different ways to do something like this, so it's best to just search and see which ones are least frustrating.

Wow.

I have 72000 emails in imap without modest having problems (they are across various folders).

You must have quite a lot of email.

Yes I have alot of emails.
Anyways I went for Nokia Messaging and it's making me crazy
I selected pop3 @ email.nokia.com but it still downloads hundreds of emails.

Also when I deleted a mail from my phone, it moves the mail to the trash in gmail too...
This is getting really annoying

I ended up not using it because the first thing that got synced was all the spam that GMail had filtered out

So now I have a specific pop3 account for my phone that my main account forwards everything to.

you dont have to.

just create a new folder, and select all your mails and move it to a new folder. and your inbox is empty
and imap should be happy with the inbox folder.

Note: you can still access your other folder too thru imap

Isn't there an option in Gmail to enable POP or IMAP for all emails / all emails from this point forward?

So you could select it to get future emails not all the old ones

Edit: Yep its this option:
"Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on"

I did, the date also changed but I kept getting mail from Gmail
Anyways

I archived my old mails and now I only get the new mail and it marks it as read on Gmail when I get them on my phone. Anyways I only got 1 questions left.

Is Nokia Messaging pushing the mails to my phone? If yes do I need to disable the automatic check interval to save some battery?
