About POP - Gmail Help

POP, or Post Office Protocol, lets you download messages from Gmail's servers onto your computer so you can access your mail with a program like Microsoft Outlook Express or Netscape Mail, even when you aren't connected to the Internet.

POP access is free for all Gmail users, and we have no plans to charge for it in the future. If you're thinking about using POP, however, we encourage you to consider IMAP, which offers all the benefits listed above plus two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client.

Once you've enabled POP in Gmail, you can configure your mail client or wireless device to download Gmail messages. To see our recommended settings or troubleshoot POP issues, click the name of your mail client or wireless device below.

If your mail client isn't listed here, we're unfortunately not yet able to provide assistance with its configuration.

I haven't tired POP with GMail. I opted for IMAP and it works well. What ever I do in Thunderbird, is also done in my GMail Online Webmail as well...
