I just play Numpty Physics or watch some TV shows with MPlayer when I'm offline.

Not much there to concern me regarding backups, although I do archive a few of my emails, and I back up my SD cards 2-3x per month as it is.
I can't imagine using POP on my tablet. Storing anything as important as e-mail onto a handheld device just seems like a bad idea to me. But then I'm terrible with backups.
I have vascillated between forwarding my Yahoo mails to Gmail and using Imap/Modest, but I would want the option to reply using either email address, as well as it would be nice to have different inboxes. The most simple thing would be if Modest would just work as every other POP mail program does and allow me to send emails.
Ah, well, maybe something will come about. Maybe Modest will be fixed to work w/ Yahoo POP, or better yet, maybe Yahoo will start allowing Imap access.

edit: hmm, now that I am playing with it a bit, those emails that I can open offline in Gmail are the ones either in my "Inbox" or in a local folder. I cannot open emails that are in the "Gmail" server folders (i.e "All Mail", "Drafts" etc.). I guess that makes sense though.

I've not seen such behavior with POP3 (or IMAP), so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.
Not making assumptions, it was a question. And mine doesn't act like that either.......

Yes, it is what I do. I only delete the messages from Gmail server when I download them in my office (using Thunderbird).
