I did this right away when I set up my email. Great tip! This is why I use IMAP instead of POP as Outlook would download everything in a threaded gmail convo including sent items. Annoyed me forever. IMAP was a godsend. I've got everything working to my satisfaction now. Next up is HTML email viewing, looking at empower and BBsmart.

Thanks all for the replies. I am confident I am not overlooking anything at least.
