email account downloading old messages forever...

[odoyle81]

I'm not sure if this has been answered, but I've been searching around and haven't found the answer. Here is what I want:
I have my primary gmail account setup, and I have a google apps account that I want to setup via POP in the "email" app. This way I can check gmail in the gmail app, and check my google apps account via the email app. I got them both setup, but when I try to check email in the "email" app, it just continues to download really old messages!
Any suggestions?? Why is it doing it and will it try to download all the thousands of messages in my google apps account??
