Another option with Gmail is to use IMAP. In this case the mail
programs mirror the web mail. Any changes made in either PC or the web
get reflected in the others next time you synch. This includes deleting
messages or moving between folders.

This is what I want. I have now tried a third time to do the settings for
the IMAP in the Gmail as well as in the Windows mail. I have started a new
account in the Gmail instead of trying to change the old one and made it the
standard one. There the famous drop curtain actually existed and I could
click for IMAP. The rest of the settings are as follows. Unfortunately 800
new messages come again. The second time today.

So my concern this time is only the first stationary computer with Windows
mail.

The Gmail account - Settings -Forwarding and POP/IMAP a
1. Status: POP is activated for all mails that has arrived since 2009-10-28
Enable POP for all mail
Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on
Disable POP

2. When messages are fetched with POP – erase G mails copy

The settings in the Windows mail a
Under server:
The server for incoming e mail is an IMAP – server
Incoming e-mail (IMAP): Pop.gmail.com
Outgoing e-mail (smtp): smtp.gmail.com

Under advanced:
Outgoing e-mail (smtp): 25
Incoming e-mail (IMAP): 995

Under IMAP
“the pathway of the toot..”: ????

So my questions are
1. Are the settings right in the Windows mail? The ports?
2. What shall I do with the pathway of the root ?? (in amateurish
translation)
3. How can I get rid of the 1600 new messages? Messages that I probably
erased over time from Windows mail but not from Gmail
4. Is the following setting correct? “When messages are fetched with POP –
erase G mails copy”

If someone would just give a comment I will e-mail you a Schwarzwald cake,
or at least be very thankful!

and thanks everyone else too for good ideas.
