gmail messages not deleted in pop3

Post by lian »

Hello, I usually use pop3 to retrieve my messages on my gmail account and I noticed that when I delete messages in Pop Peeper, there are not deleted in GMail page.

Gmail handles POP3 different than typical. You can either go into your gmail account settings and change how it behaves with deleting POP3 messages or (recommended) use IMAP instead of POP3 when accessing with POP Peeper.

I suspected your answer :-) I think I will switch to IMAP.
