Mobility Site - View Single Post - Checking Gmail w/ MSMail POP: inbox cleared @ send/receive

well, after a little of my own detective work, i've got yet another reply to my own issue:

i tried another pop account i have and it checked it correctly and downloaded mail fine. also, it did NOT erase all my old mail every time i checked for new mail.

so, it appears the problem is with gmail. i guess they didn't assume people would be checking gmail with ppc's so they made it so that when it is checked by pop, it deletes the message from the server. from what i understand, MSMail on a ppc will delete mail from the inbox when it has been removed from the server, right?

so, i'll take the issue up with gmail from here on out. sorry for the inconvenience to anyone reading all this stuff, but hopefully it will be helpful to someone else having problems with gmail. -Dan
