Subject: Fetching mail from another Gmail account
I've decided to close two of my very old Gmail accounts and pull all
the mail from those into the new one since I don't need business
address anymore. I've set up fetching in the new account, unchecked
the box to leave messages on the server and enabled POP for all mail
on both old accounts, setting them to delete mail that was POP-
accessed. I first set up the new account (which I will call A) to
fetch from one old account, I'm going to call it B. It managed to
fetch 112 out of 132 mails during about 12 hours and won't anymore.
Every time I click on Check mail in the account A to fetch the rest,
it reports No mail fetched. Also, no mail was deleted from account B,
even though I set it to delete those accessed with POP. What happened?
Is it safe to now delete/cancel account B? Am I missing something
here? I have about 20 mails missing, that never made it from account B
to account A. I'm going to have to manually compare mails in account B
to those fetched in account A (and labeled) so I can see which ones
I'm missing.
Is this a bug or...something else?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Gmail fetches only emails from Inbox or at one time in Inbox but now
in All Mail folder. It does not fetch emails from Sent folder.  You
need to user IMAP to see all the folders.

Leaving a copy on server is set on server side, not client side. So
you need to set in Account B, Settings > Forwarding and POP, to delete
the copy once is has been downloaded via POP.

Thank you for replying. I have set the B account to delete copies once
they have been accessed via POP, but I'm still lacking some mails and
no mails from B account have been deleted, I still have 125MB in
storage despite the Delete Copy setting.
