I opened OE, which automatically d/l email from my gmail account. Shortly
thereafter, the power cord on my PC was knocked out of place. Fortunately,
when I re-booted all was well, except the most recently d/l email messages
were no longer in my inbox. But they won't d/l again, because somewhere they
are apparently logged as having been d/l already. I don't think this is a
gmail setting, because I seem to remember wanting to d/l some email again
from my previous ISP's server, and not being able to. Does anyone know if
there is a way to get OE to d/l the same email messages, which remain in a
webmail account, more than once? Thanks for any help. (OE6, SP2)

Go back to Gmail - in the settings there is an option to enable for all
mail. You may need to deselect it and then apply and then select and apply
for it to work.

Ron - Thanks for your quick response. I tried deleting pop3uidl.dbx, but it
didn't do the trick. I closed OE and reopened it after the deletion, which
wasn't actually part of your instructions, so perhaps this is why. Galen's
suggestion worked for me though. I appreciate your help.

Ron - Correcting my previous reply, this suggestion together with the one
below produced the result I wanted. Having made the gmail settings change and
d/l my entire gmail inbox except, for some reason the emails I wanted, I
deleted the .dbx file you named again, d/l from gmail a second time, and got
what I needed. Thanks again.

Galen - Thanks for the help. I'm fairly new to gmail, and was unfamiliar with this setting. After my initial changes to the gmail setting, I d/l a lot of email I hadn't gotten around to either archiving or deleting, all except the very ones I wanted! I then deleted the .dbx file as suggested by Ron Sommers a 2nd time, d/l from gmail again, got a whole bunch of stuff I will have to delete again, but I also got what I needed. Thanks so much to you guys for your prompt, helpful replies!
