I prefer pop to imap because my approach to new and deleted emails are different on the server and on my mobile. I want to delete emails from my mobile but leave them on the server, even as unread.

putting a gmail address and password into the account setup leads to wm6.1 and 6.5 automatically assigning an imap setting, I think going as far as overriding your gmail preferences if imap was disabled there.

putting a fake address, such a g@f allows you to set up a pop account, and use pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com as the servers. But I have not been able to successfully download emails. I am able to upload emails with these settings.

Does anyone have any ideas what I may be missing?
