POP email migration not working properly
I transitioned my email on Friday and it isn't working properly. I set up the new gmail account to be a pop account. I am running Outlook 2007 on my desktop and set it up to talk to the gmail serve...
Here are a couple of articles that may help with your problem:
Outlook not downloading all GMAIL emails using POP3 (Solved) • Repair Windows™
Read Gmail messages on other email clients using POP - Gmail Help (google.com)
Get Your Emails in All Devices With Gmail (lifewire.com)
Good luck!
It worked for me. Make sure there is no space between recent: and your email address.
Good luck. Telus has not been helpful at all.

Google Help (what little there is) suggested that it only works if IMAP is used, rather than straight POP3. Anyway, I temporarily solved the problem by configuring my third party supplier to forward email to 2 separate Gmail accounts (one Telus and one freebie). Unfortunately, I still have an issue with the way Gmail handles the UIDL command. Instead of returning a list of emails newer than the message ID I send, it returns one at a time. J.A. Coutts
- With zero help from Telus, and using trial & error, I was able to determine that Gmail does indeed return a list of unread messages on the server. The problem is that they use a different format in response to the UIDL command. The old Telus server would respond with something like this: +OK 2 messages 1 <20120810031205.IENX1732.priv-edtnes25.telusplanet.net@edtncm03> 2 <[email protected]> . Gmail responds like this: +OK 1 GmailId 177e4a81a12e25e0 2 GmailId 177e4ae099ae8ad1 . The old server would respond with the number of messages in the first line, and Gmail does not. J.A. Coutts
