TB Pop not downloading Gmail that was autoforwarded from another Gmail

Hi Friends I have 2 Gmail accounts: G1 and G2

G1 is running on TB and Android. G2 is set to autoforward everything to G1.

On Android if I send from G1 to G2, TB on my Mac Pop downloads that message from G2.

If I sent on Mac TB from G1 to G2, (G2 then forward to G1 and it is ignored by G1 on webmail because it's duplicate (in sent items already), TB on Mac does NOT download the item from G1 because I guess somehow it knows TB was used to send the same to G2. I don't want TB to be so smart - it defies its purpose.

Any thoughts? Thanks a lot

It might be because you can't download POP accounts with multiple mail apps unless recent mode is set in TB.

But why not just add G2 to TB?

- Thanks a lot. What's the consequence of using the recent mode please? - I have too many emails and they all autoforward to G1 :-) Cheers

Recent mode allows download of the last 30 days of POP accounts with multiple mail clients. See the link above for more details.
