Retrieving only new messages from Gmail

Post by jadde »

Hello,
I have got thousands of emails keeping on my Gmail account for archive purposes.
When I push "Check Mail" button I'd like to retrieve only new messages, not thousands archived on my Gmail account.
Is it possible with the POP Peeper? If yes, which settings should be set?
Thanx for any help, it is really cool software :)

Welcome to the forums, jadde.

You can limit the number of messages that POP Peeper retrieves under:
- main menu: Tools / Options; "Message Retrieval"

You can also change it on a per-account basis:
- You need to first enable "advanced options" under main menu: Tools / Options / General; and then:
- Edit the account and select the "Advanced" page


Another method is to move old messages out of your inbox into another folder ("Archiving" the messages on gmail.com will accomplish this)
