Hi Jacky Good, imap is a bit tricky, it'll either work or it won't, at least in windows 7, the hard work is taken away as the e-mail set-up wizard searches the website for the settings. Hope it all goes ok for you.

(smile). I checked the Pop box on the Google page, and created the same account in Outlook but using Pop instead of Imap. I've nothing against Imap, except I couldn't quite get it right in Outlook. When I changed things, it worked, and I've created a folder and rule to make that particular group's messages go straight into it like my other subscriptions.

Strange one. Sorry you aren't too well. Hope it is nothing serious.

When I open it, then the Gmail folders are revealed pertaining to that account. My problem is deleting them in Outlook, I can't. I need to log into my Gmail account on the web, check every bloody box for each message, then delete. I just wish I didn't have to do that, but it's the only way I can get round it. What I have said remains strange in that I subscribed to the Eyes-Free mailing list using my BT account, but they all seem to come in under my Gmail account which I didn't even have at the time. Being quite honest about it, I don't keep that well, so my time on the PC per day is limited for fiddling around and persuading something to do what I want. Ho-hum, never mind! (smile).

Something must be wrong in the settings somewhere.

It's a bit of a long way round for a shortcut, but I checked all the messages, then deleted them in the way you suggested Andrew. Now my various folders in Outlook are cleaned out. I still wish I could have them come into my regular Inbox like all my other subscriptions are set to do, since I have rules assigned so each list has its own folder. But, hey, that's got rid of what I don't need for now, and I'll just keep on top of the traffic on the Gmail page now I know what happens. Thanks guys, great stuff.

I'm not sure if i'm understanding you correctly, so please bare with me. I too can't seem to find an option to mark all the messages via the web, it must be a GMail bug. i'd hit control A to select all in the list view in outlook, and hit delete. The difference between pop and imap essentially is that pop was designed to download mail from a server to your computer, then the mail would either be deleted from the server or remain there for ever regardless if you deleted it on your PC, unless you expressly set server options manually. Imap is a lot more versitile. any actions you carry out on your PC are replicated in realtime to your mail on the server, its a lot more efficient. so in other words, unless you set outlook to keep a copy of mail on the server its deleted or moved to trash. you can also access all your folders via imap more efficiently, copy mail between folders, etc so the long and short of it is you've made an excellent choice by using imap. Also, if you use other devices and set your mail up via imap, any actions carried out on your other devices are also automatically carried out on your PC because it'll syncronise. I hope this all makes sense? what did you have trouble with when deleting using outlook? to speed things up, i'm more than happy to give you a call at your convenience so we can discuss this, just drop me a note off list. all the best, Mo.
