I would expect to see a list containing each message followed by its unique ID, e.g.: 1 00WBw418fblah 2 foo:hdPYR ... 13 whateverswO . as per RFC1939 at least. Also missing is the RETR command, which will retrieve a numbered message and the DELE command which will mark the message(s) to be deleted when the client quits the session. > [09:35:06] POP3> QUIT > [09:35:06] POP3< +OK Goodbye. See you again sometime :) > > Why is claws not fetching those 13 messages? I can't answer this, other than by saying the above log entries do not display a complete transaction sequence I would expect to see between a client and a POP3 server. In the first instance I suggest you use openssl s_client to login on a terminal and fire the various commands at the server to see its responses. As long as the server does not error out, run RSET to unmark any messages so they are not deleted and QUIT. Then try again with Claws, increasing the log verbosity to see what you get. It may be the POP3 server implementation is incompatible with the Claws client, although in 2017 when POP3 would be deemed mature at best, if not technologically obsolete, this seems unlikely. Disclaimer 1: I have not used Claws for years now. Disclaimer 2: I've stopped using telnet to troubleshoot POP3 servers or read my emails for even more years than that. :-) -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to set up claws mail
I still don't have it right. On fetching mail this morning I received just one message, but webmail showed more than a dozen.

I don't think that can be it, because there's no sign of authentication failure in the log.

If so you will need to tweak Google's (your ISP's) security settings to allow non-OAuth authentication mechanisms, or look into obtaining an OAuth token and use this instead of your normal login passwd.

I use claws-mail for a few years now, have no issues, it's a great mail client, but whenever I want to start fresh I do go around all settings (general) and account and tweak things, so I don't remember what defaults are. Take a look at "Configuration > Preferences" under "Mail Handlig > Receiving" in "Automatic checking" section "Check for new mail on start-up" is set (if you want this) (interval checking if you want that as well). Also take a look at "Configuration > Edit Accounts" then select your account and "Edit", under "Account > Receive" is "'Get Mail' checks for new messages on this account" set. Regards, Branko
