Gmail Keeps Guzzling Your Info Even After you Turn off the Data Flow at the Tap

You can disable importing at any time from the Accounts tab of your Settings page. Just click delete next to the appropriate email account. -- Gmail's new POP import page.

OR NOT.

I set up a test acct to try grabbing external POP mail and now Gmail is STILL pulling in my external mail even after deleting the acct from Gmail!

Better yet, I've gone and changed my password over at the other acct and yet Gmail is STILL sucking in my 3rd Party mail. WTF? How is that even possible? Did Google "pre-fetch" everything before I could change my password?

Is this Google's not-so-subtle way of attempting to co-opt more and more of your personally identifiable information? What ever happened to "don't be evil"?

Here is Google support's response to the very same words posted above:

The Google Team to me

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to send us your report.

We haven't been able to test POP access with your mail client yet, but we're working to make our service compatible with as many mail clients as possible. We look forward to announcing additional compatibilities in the future. You can tell us what POP clients you'd us to support in the future at https://services.google.com/inquiry/gmail_suggest/.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

I'm a simple guy, I'd settle for Gmail Support just supporting Gmail. How about that? Never mind that this issue has absolutely nothing to do with mail clients. Now that canned non-responses like this have become the norm, Google has officially jumped the shark.
