gmail and POP3

I fully understand that IMAP is 'modern' and that POP is 'old' but I do prefer to keep my e-mails on separate devices. I have set up gmail as POP3 on a desktop and laptop, however my tablet and phone, both using BlueMail insist on using the IMAP protocol. Although I choose manual setup and select POP3, both accounts automatically change to IMAP!

Is there a way to set up gmail under BlueMail on a Galaxy TAB2 tablet and Samsung S6 phone, both using POP3 protocol? I really don't like the way that gmail creates loads of different folders under IMAP. There's 'Sent' where sent mail goes but also 'Sent Mail' which remains empty and if deleted returns next time I open BlueMail! There's also 'All Mail' which seems to contain hundeds of mails, even those deleted a long time ago. That takes ages to fill up.
