How should I use POP on mobile or multiple devices?If you’re accessing your Gmail using POP from multiple clients, Gmail’s recent mode makes sure that all messages are made available to each client, rather than only to the first client to access new mail.
Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it’s been sent to another POP client already.
If you sign in to Gmail using your Blackberry, you’re signed in to recent mode automatically. For all other POP clients, replace ‘username@gmail.com’ in your POP client settings with ‘recent:username@gmail.com’.
The above recent mode settings should also solve the problem with sent e-mail ending up in your inbox.

Nice turorial, but how do you keep gmail from downloading your sent email into the inbox?

One other thing people, if you are fetching pop e-mails from 2 different clients like your computer and your mobile you probably run into some trouble with mail either ending up on your computer or your mobile, not both…
There is a solution to this problem, you simply put in "recent:" in front of your username on all clients… "recent:username@gmail.com"

Thanks for the info!
I have everything set up as mentioned here above, but when I’m going to connect it takes my E50 for ages. What can be the problem?
Only on my E50 it won’t work
