Solved: Outlook 2007 and Gmail (Stop downloading of all messages)

look_b4u_leap · 13-Apr-2009, 10:58 AM #1

Hi:

I'm sure there's an easy fix for this, I just don't know much about Outlook. I just set up my gmail account in Outlook 2007, and when I hit "Send/Receive", it started to download absolutely every e-mail I've ever gotten. I really don't want that... I'd like it to only download messages from today forward. How do I stop it from downloading everything? Thanks in advance!

That's in your gmail settings. Under Forwarding and POP/IMAP change the POP settings to:

Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on

So, should that take a while to take effect? I'd tried that, but then sent some test messages to myself and suddenly I wasn't receiving anything in my Outlook inbox.

It should work immediately.

Verify your POP e-mail settings in Gmail.

I must have skipped over something somewhere along the way haha, not sure where though! It's all working now, thank you.
