I have been working without Outlook for several months and now finally have a stable OS environment to re-install. And I've been accessing gmail both remotely and with downloads to my smart phone. But I've set the smart phone download protocol to leave the messages un-deleted.

When I began to download into Outlook, only those messages from March 2 through March 23rd were moved to local Outlook, and they were not deleted. My initial review of Gmail settings changes did not reveal any solutions.



I need to get the older messages reset for successful download and have those downloaded to Outlook to delete, while not deleting when only viewed by my Smartphone (pantech Breakout).

Based off the information you have provided, if the Gmail options where set to not leave a copy of all mail within the mailbox then changed to leave a copy then all mail up to that point will be on your phone.

Maybe try forwarding those messages to your mailbox.
