gmail has pop - you can leave the mails on the srever, remove them. imap - leave them there, shift them off to the local machine. it's all good it all works. I use the method you do - pop it off google's servers and read it locally. Except I'm ruthless with deleting mail - stuff gets nuked after 14 days and after that I use google to find a thread on an archive somewhere -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
