    Help getting POP3 email

    I know there is a solution out there, just having trouble figuring it out. My work POP3 email is working with my Droid. However, most emails are being downloaded by Outlook and the Droid never receives them I am not concerned about syncing or having to delete the same emails twice. I just want to get all my emails on the Droid and my desktop. Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Well,

    its a simple deal. If a mail is downloaded by outlook and you read it, the pop server marks it as read. So the doid is not aknowledging that there is a NEW mail. But at least it should download te read mail anyways.

    Wich mail program are you using? Stock? What settings is the account running on?

    I am using the stock email. Basically, I usually have my outlook running on my computer, but want to see the emails when I am away from my desk. The Droid is not downloading the email even if they are unread on Outlook. I have the Droid set to check email every 10 minutes.

    What provider is it and what settings did you gave the "Incoming Server" and "Outgoing Server" O think this is just a settings issue...was your droid ever getting mails?

    It is my company email, rhlcusa.com. Incoming rhlcusa.com , port 110, security type none, and never delete from server. Outgoing mail.rhlcusa.com, port 25, security type none. I get some emails, but the majority are not received on Droid. Thank you for your help.

    But your Company should be exchange not POP....

    that only SOME mails are received on the droid is making it complicated.

    Please send an email to the account and wait at least 30 Minutes. If the droid received it, then its the outlook problem i described earlier. If not, settings are wrong

    It is a small company and it is POP, there is no exchange server. I believe the problem is that Outlook is grabbing it before the Droid can. I tried telling the Droid to check more often and Outlook to check less often, but still missing emails. I get all my emails on Outlook, but only a few on Droid. I know the email is not push, but there has to be a work around or an app to accomplish what I am looking for here.

    Have you ever tried using K9 as email app? You get it from the market, maybe the mailclient makes the difference here!

    Hope that helps out. last thing i could think of would be to kill the account from the DROID and reset it up again.
