I'm having this problem and was wondering what you may be doing differently if not. Thanks!! BenHMin,

I made the mistake of putting them between carrot marks. Sorry, I would like to say that in my above post, the recent:@gmail.com references were supposed to say

I have a gmail account that I wanted to access via POP on both my phone and using Mail.app on my mac. Previously, it would work fine using just as the incoming username and @gmail.com for the outgoing one. However, this was only if my phone got to the message first, then my laptop would download it later also. If my laptop downloaded it fist, then phone would never get it. After changing the incoming username on my phone to recent:@gmail.com - no changes on the Mail.app settings on my laptop, both the laptop and the phone seem to be able to receive messages regardless of the order in which they were accessed. Outgoing messages sent from either the laptop or the phone also make it into the sent messages folder in gmail's web client. Thanks for the tip!

But the warning posted ref WirelessSync use with GMail says one has to set up GMail as a POP account...which, I think would mean when I used VErizon's program to grab the mail, it'd take it off the server = but I want to keep the mail on GMail server, just be able to access it....Am I wrong, is GMail POP really nondestructive? Or does it act like other POP setups and take emails off the server??? Thanks!

When two people write me messages -- separated by weeks -- with the identical subject e.g. "hi there", Mail.app often threads them together. Grrrr.

This aspect of gmail's interface keeps me using webmail and not Mail.app. The current implementation in Mail.app attempts to do this, but groups emails with the same subject, etc that aren't part of the same conversation.
