Ive looked in this thread and havent seen the answers.

I set up my account just as described in post #2 of this thread. When I hit send/recieve I am receiving all of my old messages from today, even before the point i enabled POP for gmail. I initially received all the emails and then deleted them and hit send/receive for new ones and it then downloaded all of my old ones as well. Is there a way to fix this?

How do I make sure that I only get a copy of the mail that is incoming to me, right now when I hit send receive I receive my message and the one that was responded to me. (I know someone mentioned changing a setting but they didnt say where)

Also is there a way to only download unread gmail? I send and receive a lot of emails each day from the Q and would like to only download unread emails.

in order to get Yahoo mail sent this way you have to pay Yahoo for i think what they call Premium.. free mail is only web based (or with the Yahoo Go! v2.0)

After much pain and research, I got my gmail to work:

In the messages, program, account options - set up a new account:
Your name: "put in your name"
E-mail address: "your full gmail address including @gmail.com"

NEXT

User name: (this is the key):
"recent:xxxx@gmail.com" with xxxx being your address. The key is recent
Password:
"put in your password"

Check to save password (I assume you want this)

Domain is blank

NEXT
Server Type : POP3
Account name: Gmail

NEXT
Incoming service
"pop.gmail.com:995"

dont check "require SSL connection"

Outgoing server:
"smtp.gmail.com:465"

check outgoing requires auth.

NEXT

Then pick the setting you want
(I have last 3 days)
and "entire message"

Connect auto. and check messages:
again, choose what you want - remember, checking more frequently will eat battery time! (I leave it to NEVER - and check manually myself)


hope this helps -
let me know if you have questions

This worked out great but I have a question. I have all my mail forward to my exchange server in in my office at work. Including gmail for my personal mails. How can I reply to a e-mail that came in my exchange folder via gmail. Since I dont want to reply to a personal email via my work address? anyone have any ideas?

thanks to everyone who posted instructions on how to get Gmail working with the mail client on the Moto Q. I set it up and it works great.

However in the inbox I see my sent messages as well as the ones i've received. this is a bit confusing as you would imagine. is there a way to hide the sent messages?
