1143049 2010-10-10 00:01:00 Have a computer here with outlook 2010 on it. It defaults to a gmail address that is set up for IMAP, the outlook continuously syncs to the gmail due to being set up as Imap and makes the program slow very slow, Can I change the gmail to pop3 and alter the settings in outlook or will it screw something up if I do that gary67 (56)
1143050 2010-10-10 00:23:00 You can you just wont have the separate folders, like Imap / the gmail site. Or forward emails from Gmail to your normal ISP acct. Then emails from Gmail will come through. It'll save you setting up Gmail in OL

I have the same prob with Gmail here, so forwarded it to my normal email instead (it kept causing errors / timing out)

1143051 2010-10-10 00:41:00 Yeah I think I would need to delete the Imap account in OL and re create it as a Pop3 since it throws up errors when I try and change it gary67 (56)
1143052 2010-10-10 00:55:00 Probably because it'll delete the folders Imap created. Speedy Gonzales (78)
1143053 2010-10-10 00:59:00 yes what I'm guessing, time to back up the .pst I guess gary67 (56)
