If you use GMail and PC email client software do you set it up as IMAP , POP  
or use the Google Apps Sync tool.?

So my response to Arthur’s comment is…

I use the email client software on my droid tablet and set it up as  
imap.

Nothing stays on the Google server.

Arthur:

POP, and I have Gmail save a copy. That way I can access from any  
device and still get current email. I don’t get any email through  
Google that I’d care if everyone in the world read it, so don’t care if  
it sits on their server.

The only syncing I do is with the calendar. I entered dates and  
reminders in Google calendar years ago that I didn’t want to re-enter  
in Thunderbird, so I just have the Google Calendar sync with  
Thunderbird. : )
