I got it working so that I still have copies of the email in my GMail after I download them in ThunderBird. Looks like my slow connection was the reason why it was conking out the first time.

another thing that I like best when using POP for gmail compared to others is that it eliminates too much advertisements that clutter the email message.

Keep your messages on the server!!!!

I use Thunderbird to access all my mail. I leave the messages on the server and I don’t have any problems.

I access my Gmail account in 3 ways: via web browser (Firefox), via email client (Thunderbird) and via Pocket PC. When I download new messages, the original copies are kept unread on the account.

It seems Gmail has support for offline access if you have google desktop installed.

And I think pretty soon Gmail will support Offline access thru google gears just like google reader.

I think you mean thunderbird, instead of firefox 1.5. Anyway, for me I’ve even set up another account as my outgoing mail account, separate from my incoming gmail account. I just made the outgoing mail account to forward messages to my incoming gmail account so I’ll receive them all messages.

I think you meant Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 when you said Firefox 1.5.

Hi Abe - You can indeed set G-Mail in a way that even though you download the e-mails, copies are also left on your G-Mail account. That is how I have mine set up. So, although I use POP3 to download all my G-Mails, they are also available through webmail online as well.
