- Your messages suddenly stopped downloading
- You have to re-enable POP every time to continue downloading
messages
- Only some messages are being downloaded while others are being
skipped
- The same message is being downloaded over and over again
- ALL your messages are being downloaded again
If so, here are 3 simple solutions that can help fix your problem:
1. Try enabling recent mode in your POP client by replacing
"[email address]" in the Username field of your POP client settings
with "recent:[email address]", and configure your POP client to
leave mail on the server. Recent mode only fetches the last 30 days of
mail, so it's ideal if you don't want your smartphone to download
thousands and thousands of messages. Disclaimer: If you don't leave
messages on server in your mail client settings, your messages may get
moved to Trash after download. For more information on recent mode,
check out http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=47948
2. If you're not using recent mode, ensure that your email client is
NOT configured to leave mail on the server.
3. Try deleting the entry for your Gmail account in your POP client
and then re-adding it with all the correct settings.

Is there a place where the information is at a more basic level? What
I want to do is get my road runner email sent to gmail. I think
someone else was asking a similar question but it hadn't been
answered. Everybody knows my road runner email address and I have
listservs to there, so if I have to change to a web based email to get
email on my laptop, I want that mail to be forwarded to it.
Of course, if I knew how to get an email program here that I could
hook to my road runner email, I would just as soon do that. But I
don't know how to do that either, For some reason this mac, instead
of having an email program like Outlook (or the one I use on the Linux
computer my sons set up, Konqueror) directed me to a web based email
which is part of a service I have to pay 99 bucks a year for. I kind
of resent that.
I put this here because I know POP has something to do with telling an
email program what server to look for the email on. I know what to
put in the boxes for incoming mail server and outgoing mail server on
Konqueror or Evolution email to get them to get road runner mail.
But I don't know how to get my road runner mail on gmail.....or how to
get an email program compatible with mac onto my laptop that i could
then tell to go get my road runner mail.
I don't know what a "client" is in your above discussion, which right
away kept me from going any farther with trying to understand it.
Thanks

It doesn't make any sense to me to change my POP settings in
Thunderbird, if some messages download and some don't on the same
day !
Like messages 1,2,4, and 6 will download, but 3 and 5 stay on Gmail's
server.
Hi everybody,
sorry for my poor English, please, reply me in an "easy" language.
I'm in a strange situation: till few hours ago everything was ok.
Now Thunderbird as me for password to send an email. Even I introduce
the right password, it keeps asking me (without sending the email).
At the same time I cannot download new emails (Thunderbird tells there
are not new mail, but there are).
If I try to login via browser, everything works (I can send email and
I see the new coming ones).
What should I do?
Is this a server problem due to a service on the server?
Should I just wait....?
May your problem, and mine originate in Thunderbird, and not in Gmail.
However, are you entering the same password in Thunderbird as you are
when you are logging into Gmail on the web-browser?
You may want to write down all your passwords that are kept in
Thunderbird's memory, and then "tell" Thunderbird to forget your
passwords.
press the Download mail button, and you will be asked for a password.
copy-paste the password from someplace that you can see what you are
typing, like a word processor, so you are certain that the password is
correct.

Hello Gmail guide,
I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my gmail account.
My gmail account [email address] is no longer accessible and
has randomly stopped allowing me to sign in. My friends email me there
and have their emails bounce back. First i thought my email address
was compromised so i sent in a report. They said the results were
inconclusive. Second, I thought maybe id just have my password reset,
yet when i tried to get it done, it said that [email address]
doesn't exist. It sure does because i use POP with outlook and i have
tons of emails saved. I need help and google support is about the
worst to me. I cant call one specific person to help me, all they tell
me is that everything is inconclusive. I had to create this account so
that i could just post here in hopes that SOMEONE WITH GMAIL WOULD
HELP ME. If I cant get my gmail account, and theres no possibility of
security question, and my friends email bounce back, then something
happened to my account. PLEASE HELP ME. I am a college student and use
that email address a lot for job opportunities and internships and
such. I am supposed to be receiving many emails soon about
acceptances. I NEED HELP PLEASE HELP ME IN SOME WAY. I have a TON of
recent emails saved with outlook in proof that it is my account.
Please help me.

The situation is that I have the same issue as Stefano, so it might
not be Thunderbird (I'm using outlook anyway). I also tried other e-
mail clients, but it was still not working. Is there an possibility to
resolve the issue? It might can be also my computer settings, but I
don't really understand how setting are changing whithout me changing
them:)

Hi. I have a similar problem and am pretty much tearing my hair out. I
use Googlemail to retrieve messages from another server (Business 1st)
which use a non-Google email address. Following a problem in receiving
messages, I contacted my ISP who told me to change my POP3, which I
did. However, although I am now receiving emails from the other server
via Google, which is what I wanted, I'm also being inundated with
literally thousands of old messages, mostly spam. I've so far deleted
over 14,000 old messages and am at the end of my tether! There seems
to be no way of stopping these repeating messages.

me too, I'm using Apple mail 2.1.3 and MS entourage 2008.
Both of them is stop received and download mails.
It said that the server is experiencing a problem or some sort.
I tried to recreate my account in apple mail, but even it's not
recognize in the gmail server.
That's so annoying.
I download too many times all my mails and I think :
>My account was locked after I enabled POP
>Lockouts are often caused when abnormal or excessive usage with POP access is detected in a very short period of time. This is often caused by users frequently downloading their entire >accounts to a mail client or using third-party software that automatically logs in to their account and is not supported by Google.
>Please note that these lockouts are temporary, and you will be able to access your account again within 24 hours.
But that's begin to fail downloading two days ago , what can I do ?
