You've set receiving options to POP, but that is a very basic protocol. You way want to consider using imap like explained here http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799. This way if you do things in your client (deleting mails or organizing in folders) the same is done on your gmail account. It stays synchronized.
ReplyDeleteBtw these same settings also work with claws-mail, which is a far more leightweight mail client for linux.
