Hi,

I have over 2GB of mail in my gmail account. I want to start using gmail through Mail, with gmail's support for POP3 accounts. However, I really don't wanna start downloading 2GB of old emails to my computer. Is there a rule I can specify that would allow me to download only mail from the last 60 days forward, or something of that nature? I tried messing around with the rules in mail but couldn't find anything that is adequate. Also, it's preferred that older emails will not be downloaded at all (instead of downloading, then evaluating it localy), to preserve my network bandwidth.

Help would be appriciated.

go to the gmail control panel on the webmail and click on the pop and forwarding tab

Well, that was simple. Gotta love Google.

Thank you very much for the help!
