Setting up Windows Mail. not receiving all messages from Gmail.

Hello, hopefully someone can help me as this has been wrecking me head
for the last few days.
I've recently changed laptop and am trying to download all my messages
from Gmail to Windows Mail (and keep a copy on Gmail too).

The problem is that I'm only receiving some old emails from 2005-2006
and nothing newer. There's no error message but there's thousands of
messages not being downloaded as well as all my sent messages.
I'm using POP3 and all my settings seem to be ok. I've searched this
forum for a similar problem but not having much luck.

Please can someone help or point me in the right direction. :confused:

Were those emails previously downloaded on a different PC?
Gmail POP accounts allow messages to be downloaded only once,
unless you jump through some special hoops:

However, that mode only allows you to go back 30 days.
In order to have access to all emails, set the account up for
IMAP protocol:

Dans un message, envoyé ou reçu, lorsqu'il y a des images en Pièces
Jointes elles se "collent aussi dans le texte. Comment faire pour les
supprimer?

merci de votre réponse.

Hi, yes I recently changed laptops and had been successfully using Gmail
through Windows Mail on the old one. I tried IMAP but was having big
problems with my folders downloading multiple times eg spam, trash, etc.


thanks for your help. :sleepy:

The problem caused by changing computers is covered by the first part
of my previous explanation. It's a Gmail POP account limitation.

IMAP on Windows Mail is somewhat buggy. If you want to try the IMAP
solution again, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Tried again with IMAP but this time without all the folder options and
it's going a bit better. The only problem is that my sent messages from
Gmail have gone missing. I'll have a look in this forum for a solution.

Otherwise I'll try WIndows Live Mail as you suggest.

thanks. :D
