Just use a setting inside Gmail to "Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on" and it will download only the new mails.Originally Posted by Grr

I have IMAP configured.
POP has a different concept as it wouldn't reflect the changes.

Perhaps thats y its not working for you.
Whole concept of IMAP is different and it will always try to sync everything back to server. Why not use POP?

POP will not sync read mails.
If i read an email on gmail, it will still show as unread in outlook, and vice-versa.
So went for IMAP

As far as know, this can be set in options, but not sure 100%. Need to check that.

No, not possible. That is how it works.
I had researched before I went for outlook/IMAP:
There are two ways your devices and clients can communicate with Gmail:
1. A one-way communication path (). Your device asks us for data and pulls it from our servers -- but that's it. Things you do on your device have no effect on the server. If you read a message on your phone, then log in to Gmail, you will see that same message marked as unread. It may start to feel like Groundhog Day.
2. A two-way communication path (). Unlike with POP, your devices talk back to our servers and sync your changes automatically with IMAP. When you sign in to your Gmail account in a web browser, actions you've taken on your email client or mobile device (like putting a message in a 'work' folder) will also appear in Gmail (your message will already have a 'work' label on it). This all happens automatically once you set up IMAP, so you don't have to read or sort all your mail twice. This is really helpful when accessing Gmail from .
