[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1447477, member: 46727"] What's happening is that you have never removed your old mail from the GMail server. The GMail server will just keep piling up those emails forever unless you either select the option in Mail to remove them from the server after they're downloaded, or, you go to the server and delete them yourself. The only mail automatically deleted by GMail is spam and that's after a certain amount of time. I check my stack of mail every month on the GMail server and remove what I don't want to keep. [/QUOTE]
