Not enough info to say. I have two google accounts. I have all mail sent to
each automatically forwarded to one of my regular ISP accounts. But, I have
smtp set up one of them, and that works reliably. I also used pop for awhile,
but for reasons I no longer remember, I stopped doing it that way. I've got
seven different addresses I manage, and my system is convoluted, but works
well for my situation. I can check my mail from any of many machines I might
be working at during the day. During those checks, the messages are
downloaded but not deleted from the servers. Late in the night, I have one
archival machine that downloads from all the accounts and deletes the
messages from the servers at that point. I have a central archive that way,
but, can always get my mail from anywhere during the day. Some day, I'll have
to get around to setting up imap, but, it's not on my high priority list
because what I've got is working well.
