You need to check the options in GMail Help files to see what they offer for
leaving mail in their application.

Go to Settings-Forwarding and POP in GMail and you can tell it there to
only download mail from a date that you specify...

That's the gmail default for POP accounts. Gmail itself keeps track of
messages it has downloaded to a POP c lient (any POP client) and will not
download them again unless you specifically tell it to do that. If you
configure the account as an IMAP account, then you'll see all of your mail,
but it doesn't download it in the same manner as for a POP account.
