>>I get it. Thank you for clarifying. When I had a problem with my Outlook connecting to gmail, I was doing the same thing: getting emails using the browser.

I am not at all a Google's defender. But, I do have my emails even after switching ti IMAP. That is, the emails sent to me which I get in Outlook reside in an .ost file. Therefore, even if a message is deleted on the server, I still have it on my PC, in an .OST file.
Why then, do you say that "you don't"? Please explain.
TIA
