I have enabled POP3 settings for my gmail. I am able to connect to the POP3 store using my password in a Java app. I have around 10k messages in my inbox.
When I call getMessages
on the Inbox folder it returns only 280 old messages. When I call getMessages
in a loop, every call returns me same messages. I also tried getMessages(start, end)
but it does not return other messages than those 280.
How do I retrieve the other messages?
With Gmail POP3 auto-refresh, you can refresh an unlimited number of POP3 email accounts at a rate of one minute for free. Click on the extension, it will open Gmail on the right page and automatically refresh POP3 emails.
IMAP and POP are both ways to read your Gmail messages in other email clients. IMAP can be used across multiple devices. Emails are synced in real time. POP can only be used for a single computer.
You can use the Gmail interface to send and receive emails using an email account you create with your domain. By setting up your domain's email address as a POP3 and SMTP account in your Gmail account, you can use Gmail as an email client (much like you would use Outlook, Mac Mail, or Thunderbird).
By default, GMail's POP3 and IMAP server does not behave like standard POP3 or IMAP servers and hides messages from clients using those protocols (as well as having other non-standard behavior).
If you want to configure your GMail POP3 or IMAP settings to behave the way POP3 and IMAP are intended to behave according to their protocol specifications, you'll need to log in to your GMail account via your web browser and navigate to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP
tab of your GMail Settings
page and set your options to look like this:
POP3 Download
[X] Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)
IMAP Access
[X] Enable IMAP
[X] Auto-expunge off - wait for the client to update the server
[X] Immediately delete the message forever
