After someone suggested that the other day I tried to do that... when I went 
into account settings for the already set up in WLM  gmail accounts, I was 
unable to remove the POP designations.

Is is possible for me to 'create' two duplicate accounts for the existing 
gmail accounts in my WLM and connect them using IMAP, then reconfigure the 
gmail accounts to IMAP?  And then remove the 2 originally created gmail 
accounts in WLM that are designated POP?

If I could do this, would I still be able to 'read' my gmail on the web, 
while away from my home computer that has the WLM set up?

Additionally, I've been told that if I delete any of the accounts from my 
WLM, the mail associated with them inside my WLM inbox most recently my 
former ISP (Comcast), but for about 10 days now ATT, would disappear.  I 
previously had both gmail accounts forwarding into my WLM where it joined 
the email and previously filed email from not only Comcast, but other 
earlier emails, some stored since 2000.
