Hi Fred,
I have my email client as POP and there is a
setting to leave messages the on server x number
of days. I have it set to 15 days, after which
Eudora will delete the expired messages. I guess
that's why I still use Eudora, a good old girl
and less virus risk than iStuff or Mac and WAY
less risk than Outlook. No one writes code for Eudora anymore. :)
Cheers, Russ

Jonathan youre right. Setting your mail
client up as IMAP rather than as a POP client
means that all messages will stay on the email
server, and then be copied to all IMAP clients
of that account when they connect. Ive got my
Gmail account set up that way on my MacBook Pro,
iPhone and iPad, and everything stays
synchronized; so it appears to work for Google
Mail. Ive also got several personal and work email accounts set up that way.
With POP, as soon as a client connects, the
message is downloaded from the server to that
client only; theres no good way to keep things synchronized.

I am no expert - but believe you have to set up
your email account as an IMAP account rather
than POP3. With IMAP, the various mail clients
are synchronized so that if you delete an email
on one device, it is deleted from all. (I have
4 devices from which I can read / send emails -
so it was critical for me to have this
feature). I don't use gmail - I have my own
domain with godaddy and it was not difficult to
set the account as IMAP - not sure if gmail can be so easily configured
