I got a new laptop and set up my emails. It shows that it is trying to download 10,000+ emails thus halting new emails I should be getting. how can I stop this from down loading?

Let me guess… gmail?
By default, when you ‘delete’ a message in gmail, it simply untags it from the inbox and keeps it in ‘all mail’.
Google’s implementation of IMAP is horribly non-standard.
Sign into your account on the web and actually delete the “deleted” messages to keep them from syncing down to your Mac or change the IMAP settings on your account on the web to not show the ‘all mail’ folder on clients.

Thanks. Did that now it shows 10,901 emails trying to load. It went up not down. Any other ideas?
