Hi Mo
Well you have answered my questions, except I still can't delete all the
messages that are coming in via Gmail, even though I subscribed to the
Eyes-Free Googlegroups mailing list using my BT Email address. I selected
all the messages in the All Mail folder, and tried both a control D to
delete them, or the shift forward delete. No go, they are all still there.
I can't find any way on the website to do it either.
I got a Google Nexus 7 tablet for Christmas, so set up a Gmail account as I
kept being pestered for one. I subscribed to the Eyes-Free mailing list,
which deals with all things Android, but used my regular BT Email address as
I always do. Low and behold, all the Eyes-Free messages come in via the
Gmail account, hence my reason for using the link you provided to set my
mail to Outlook via Imap. The Emails from Eyes-Free, as you rightly say,
come in on my tablet or the PC, whichever I am using. But I don't want to
keep them, and am struggling to get rid!! (smile). Help, before I drown!!
Thanks so much for your suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie.
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.
