Hopefully they will implement a "delete all spam" button soon.

In gmail simply "archive all exisiting messages" and in the pop setting chose enable pop for new email.

I did follow the instructions given by gmail for thunderbird, when I set the account up

So, any ideas how I can get the scanner to scan the account?

My other email accounts are fine. Using Norton AV 04.

Works fine with mailwasher and AVG7

Sorry Think we need someone that uses NAV to help you with that, no doubt it's just one silly setting that is stopping it all

Aw , shucks!!
You're welcome - anyone else want one?

Aw c'mon now, Mal can't be the olny gmail user here that has Nortons installed...
BTW yeah, it does work with AVG doesn't it

Still struggling with it, biggest niggle is the amount of time from boot up to login, but as said before, slow, but i'll get there,

all this beer's not helping though

All my old NTL accounts & any others forward to it.
I also use it on all forums & sites needing registrations etc.

So I get all the spam from them & it soon mounts up.
I'm just glad that the spam filter gets 95% of it all.

If only I could delete it all in one go, to get rid of 3000+ would take 60+ mouse clicks & about 10 minutes, much better to do it in one go.
(if anyone else thinks that then please suggest this to Google on their help pages here).

do you mean how does NAV scan emails?

just open NAV and click options then on the left hand side click internet email in the window that appears on the left make sure that scan for incoming &/or outgoing messages is ticked, and that should be about it, there is no option for thunderbird, just a mail client, so this must run off of the default mail client.

edit: if this is a problem with thunderbird and setting up the pop settings, then I would change one thing that gmail say, when you are setting up another account, in the smtp part, add a new one, don't change your normal one, then this can check for both normal account and gmail.

on another note, regarding this gmail pop forwarding thing, what is the default ntlworld.com port number?

I use Thunderbird and NAV (actually NIS 04) works okay with other email accounts (yahoo/ntlworld).

It's just the gmail account.

I'm wondering, like Paul said, if it's because gmail uses different ports. On outgoing router log, the service is marked as POP for the others, but the gmail is marked by the port number. I don't know if it's that.

I've emailed symantec to see if that's the problem and I'm just waiting for a reply.
