You may want to try recording a pop3.log which will show more details
about incoming mail.

To create an POP3.log In OE5+, go to Tools, Options, Maintenance,
Troubleshooting and check the Mail box.
You may need to close OE after doing the send for the log to get written
to disk.
The log will be in the Store Folder which is listed in Tools, Options,
Maintenance, Store Folder.

I have a Gmail account, and OE seems to have a limit to the number of
messages it can handle. I have my storage in the
ToolsOptionsMaintenance
set to a folder on my persnal data HD. I created folders and sorted my
emails
from the inbox to them. I compacted the folders but OE will send but
never
detects new messages. I have checked my pop settings on my Gmail
account and
they are set to be able to get mail always even if downloaded, and the
setting for mail access by pop is set to remain in inbox. Plus my OE
is set
to leave a copy on the server, even if I delete it in my OE. It
doesn't time
out, it just doesn't retrieve the messages. The SSL is correct too,
plus I
can send email from OE. Why won't OE6 download anymore of my email,
Plus I
have all of the updates, that Windows Update detected, already
installed;
except the language. I just reinstalled the OS yesterday and upgraded
the OE
and IE then. I don't know what else to do. Please someone suggest
something.
