I have been using gmail with TB both set to imap for several years. this way I get my preferred user interface and the safety of keeping emails on the server and once in a while accessing my emails from another computer. I dont want to change this.

Posting this question to gmail forums gets no helpful response.

In G mail web settings enabling or disabling pop3 is independent of enabling or disabling imap. Why?

I had thought that I had pop3 disabled, but looking at it now I see it says "Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/31/08" "When messages are accessed with POP delete Gmail's copy"

and below that it is set to "Status: IMAP is enabled"

When I log into my gmail account with the g mail web interface, I see that messages that I have already received w/TB are still there even months/years later. This is IMAP and what I want, but in g mail web settings is: "Status: POP is enabled for all mail that has arrived since 10/31/08" "When messages are accessed with POP delete Gmail's copy"

What's up?

tks,pa

Why don't you just (re)disable POP access if you don't need it?
