Only one download per email for POP?

[DD0]

If my computer happens to download my email from Gmail first, my phone won't get it and vice versa. Anyway to allow both to get my emails?

There has to be some kind of fix for this.

I have the same problem, only the opposite. Both my computer and iPhone get the e-mail and if you delete it from one it still stays on the other, so essentially you have to read the e-mail twice, I wish there was a way to change that.

You'll have to go to your mail settings on both the pc and phone and choose to leave msgs on server for a period of time.

My messages are still stored in gmail, the problem is each email is only downloaded once.

Yes this is right, its under ADVANCED SETTINGS in Outlook. You need to tell it to leave a copy on the server, I have mine set to delete is off the server after 10 days so that the mailbox doesn't overflow.

I have both set to never delete from the server and it doesn't work.

Enable "recent mode" under settings, mail, gmail, advanced. This will fetch pop messages even if they've already been fetched by another client.

Figured it out, I had recent mode turned off to prevent my own emails from coming to my inbox, but that also stopped me from using more than one client.

Do you know how to prevent sent gmail messages from appearing in my inbox?

Hopefully Apple will enable filters to avoid this in the future. Bcc:ing yourself on sent messages form the iPhone is good because you can add a gmail filter to stick the sent messages in your gmail outbox, and always be able to search your outgoing messages, regardless of where they are sent from.

To get rid of it for now, just go to settings, mail, and turn "Always cc myself" off.

That's not what causes the problem with gmail. This happens on all phones, BB, treo and now iPhone. I believe it's because gmail stores your sent message as a new message in your inbox. So the phone thinks it is a new message. CCing myself is off.

Hmm, indeed. Looks like we're stuck until Apple implements some filters in the Mail app. Weak!

Ya I can't even seem to get a gmail filter to work.

Ok I got the filter 'from="me" then delete it' to work. Obviously you can't send any emails to yourself from gmail then.
