Android not gathering messages using Mercury with POP3

Also, you can turn on session logging in MercP and examine the entire conversation to see exactly what is being asked for by the client and what is provided by the server.

I run a small Mercury mail server and use POP3 as the protocol. I have no problem downloading all the incoming messages with Thunderbird from a number of locations. Thunderbird is set up to leave messages on the server, so I can access the same messages in different locations.

I also have two Android devices, a Nexus 7 and an HTC Droid DNA phone. These are using an Android app called Aquamail to access the same messages from the server. The Android devices regularly are skipping over many of the messages. I tried using the default email app on the Nexus, and it had the same problem. I don't think it's Aquamail. Both Androids are missing the same messages. I've searched the forums here and find nothing about this problem. Any thoughts or things to try would be appreciated.

What settings are you using in MercuryP? Have you got POP3.PRO defined?

Hi - I don't know that I can help you, but I thought that I would tell you that I am successfully using Mercury and a phone and a tablet both running Aquamail. I have never seen any issue of skipped messages. The only difference for me is that I am using IMAP4 rather than POP3. If one is using multiple clients, IMAP4 probably offers a good solution. I have looked through the Aquamail settings and I can't see anything that might cause messages to be skipped. The fact that your stock mail client also skips suggests that this is not specifically an Aquamail issue. I also Thunderbird on several machines, all running IMAP4.
