Otherwise, it only grabs about a hundred or so
emails at a time, and will never get the latest emails.
Which is an issue with Gmail, I think.
On a weekend I set up KMail with my GMail account. About 6,000 threads.
What I did was set up the account and then enabled interval checking for
every minute and then went off and did other things while ignoring
KMail.
I'd suggest leaving the machine on overnight with KMail using interval
checking.

Pine seems to work. Are you using filters and so forth on your gmail
page? Google is philosophically opposed, apparently, to directories, so
the way in which messages are stored by google is different, of course,
from how they're stored with whichever client you POP your messages with,
which will use directories.
There are weird behaviors, I believe, when first setting up POP3 with
google, in that not all the messages are grabbed. However, after that
initial weirdness it's consistent, to my knowledge.
You can check (google) the archives for comp.mail.pine, and probably other
groups, about gmail weirdness, historically, at least. It might be better
now.
