Gmail setting for Puch email

[mseif]

I am new to Android coming from Blackberry. I just bout galaxy S Advance.
1- I want to have my Gmail messages pushed to my phone, but with the min data traffic.Would it be better to use IMAP or POP ?
I have tried the IMAP before and found that it sync many folders that I do not need , so it consume more data traffic.
2- Would it be possible to have a 2nd identity on the Gmail account, so when I send email from my phone, it uses the 2nd email address ?
3- Would it be possible to have an auto BCC with each email I send ?

Thanks in advance.

1. You must use IMAP and set your Gmail account to push email. And use the dedicated Gmail app.

2. I think so, but I haven't tried it.

3. Yes. Just set it up.
