[Logicmail-users] logicmail only downloads old emails

[Kelly H. <kch...@gm...>]

I'm sure this has been addressed in the past, but I can't find any way
to search the archives.

I just installed Logicmail on my BB 8130 and set up a POP mail account
for my Gmail. But it only downloads old email, nothing recent. It
 started with last October. If I delete a bunch, it will download more,
 but how do I make it download new email, without having to delete ALL
 of the past 6 months? And when I get to the new email, I shouldn't
 have to manually delete old ones, before it tells me I have something
 new today.

Also, when it downloads the email it doesn't download everything for a
 particular day. When I delete some old ones and get it to download more, I find
 new ones interspersed with the ones I already had.

Thanks for any help!

Kelly,
The problem is that GMail's POP support is kinda broken.  Here's the 
somewhat technical blog post where I investigated the issue:
https://www.logicmail.org/blog/gmail-web-imap-pop

The short answer is that GMail is actually sending me the data you're 
seeing, when I tell it to "send me the latest messages".  If you switch 
to using IMAP instead of POP, things should work a lot better.

You could also try using the "recent:" setting which will bypass some of 
the oddities of Gmail's POP3 server.

Using IMAP is simply a better solution across the board.

Thanks to both of you. I did switch to IMAP, and it's working now. I had always used POP before I had webmail, so I didn't think anything of it.

Thanks to both of you. I switched to IMAP and it works fine now. I had only used POP because that's what I always had before webmail.

Okay, now I have a new question. Why did those messages not show in my Sent mailbox, so I thought the first had succumbed to my phone acting stupid and sent another?
