A search actually turns up some great threads on this.
Basically you need to use IMAP for gmail. Go to gmail.com and then under settings enable IMAP and then read the very simple directions. This will only download new mail from the servers.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but am I the only person not to have received IMAP access yet with gmail?

I dont have access to IMAP in Gmail if my settings are set to UK.

I've changed my Gmail preferences to US and the IMAP option magically appears, along with the updated interface! :D
