How to set up POP instead of IMAP?

I just though of something else too, with G-Mail and IMAP with a PDA your messages don't get deleted on the server. pOutlook puts them in the "Deleted Items" folder, so in the G-Mail web client they just get that label, much like any other label you have setup in G-Mail They don't actually get deleted unless you actually log into the web client and send them to the Trash.

Actually with IMAP on the TP, they do get deleted from the Gmail server. I have confirmed this with multiple emails that I have deleted from my TP, that have completely disappeared from the Gmail server. They're not marked as deleted, and they're not in the trash. They are completed gone from the server.

Thank you! This worked like a charm!

Look for a label in your G-Mail called "Deleted Items" I assure you they are not gone!
