Using POP in Gmail has other downsides:
You cannot download messages labeled as Spam or sent to Trash. In Gmail, messages marked as spam are sent to Spam label and cannot be read via POP. Messages sent to Spam or Trash are deleted in 30 days, so you need to open these labels regularly on your browser.
As you download all messages in POP, they will take up your disk space.
If you use IMAP, you can sync and read your messages and settings on any of your devices in real time. You can also read messages marked as spam.
