POP Email Problems

[jmasterman]

I've tried the K9 mail client and I have the same problems stated above. Email with POP just doesn't work consistently at ALL. This is the worst experience I've ever had with a phone and email. I've called Verizon and they said to ensure my RIM/blackberry connection to my account was off. That didn't help the problem at all.

My Droid seemed to be sporadically losing sync with my POP email account too. I also noticed Outlook was grabbing the email but my droid wasn’t. I checked my email account options in Outlook and noticed the “leave a copy of messages on the server” box was not checked. I checked that box and then checked the box that stated “remove from server after 1 day”. After that my emails started coming in like they were supposed to.
So, Outlook was grabbing the messages and taking them off the server before my droid could get them. That’s why some messages would come in but others wouldn’t. It worked for me and thought I would pass it along.

Besides using k9:
- don't use a task killer
- may be due to 2.1 deep sleep bug. Run load monitor from market

Not using a task killer.

I am using droids email app and just made the changes to outlook to leave the messages on the server for at least one day so I can get them on my droid too.

oh, I thought you were using k9. I don't think the stock "Email" app can be fixed.
