Me again, after posting the above, my wife informed me she was not getting Gmail into her Outlook Express. I found the following at Gmail. I have yet to set it up so not sure it works. Good Luck Smitty Using POP on multiple clients or mobile devices If you're accessing your Gmail using POP from multiple clients, Gmail's recent mode makes sure that all messages are made available to each client, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already. In your POP client, replace 'username@gmail.com' in the Username field your POP client settings with 'recent:username@gmail.com'. Blackberry users will be signed in to recent mode automatically, without adding 'recent:'. Once you enable recent mode, please be sure to configure your POP client to leave messages on the server according to the instructions below: In Outlook, on the Advanced tab, check the box next to Leave a copy of messages on the server. In Outlook Express, on the Advanced tab, check the box next to Leave a copy of messages on server. In Apple Mail, on the Advanced tab, remove the check next to Remove copy from server after retrieving a message. In Thunderbird, on the Server Settings tab, check the box next to Leave messages on server.

mike kaiser, A hacker can start an https session to break into a gmail account just as easily as not. I don't think it provides any security against hackers, it just prevents interception (by using encryption) when the session is on a non-secure network. For people on a secure/home network, no effect. I'm not certain and the preceding could be wrong. It's a good practice anyhow to have nothing in your email account that you wouldn't want in the hands of someone with bad intentions. That way, there's no reason to have anxiety about unauthorized access. You change your password, or in more serious cases, you set up a new email address, and move on with your life. People get so dramatic and fearful about such things, an email break-in isn't like a home invasion by a gang of 5 lawless bikers.

I have been able to change the labels from certain senders by creating filters. Here's some instructions for changing what tab your mail falls under: https://techforluddites.com/gmail-messages-promotions-primary-tab/
