If I've sent something anywhere on the internet, I consider it public.
Google or not.

If you can't remember what you've sent, you can type
From: me
in the search box at the top and it will show what you've sent and
also the threads where you have participated. That's a feature I use
regularly because you can easily note unread topics because they are
in a bold font.

Using pop won't track read/unread accurately. If you are going to do
it that way, why not use imap? Or do you point your phone at your own
server?
