Question asked on Sep 8, 2015

Just setup WLMail with four of my Gmail accounts.

WLMail automatically set them up as IMAP accounts and now is trying to download all (11,000+) the messages on the Gmail server.

I don't want it to do that - just load the new messages. 

I think you can do that with account set up as POP. Anyway to do it with the IMAP?

Anyone help?
