I have 398 messages in my inbox, but my application which is connecting to gmail's pop3 servers tells me that I have only 250. What's the problem?

How do you know you have only 250? – dkarp Jan 11 '11 at 23:43
How can we possibly know? we are not a site of psychic software developers. – zellio Jan 11 '11 at 23:57
@dkarp Because every email application I use tells me that I have 250. @Mimisbrunnr I thought that maybe someone had experience with gmail's pop3 server. What could I except from a person living in canada anyway, lol'd. – pop3guy Jan 12 '11 at 0:05
The reason I ask is that in GMail's conversation view, the total number of messages listed includes all messages in the conversations even if some of them aren't in the Inbox. Switching to Inbox message view will give you an accurate count. – dkarp Jan 12 '11 at 2:34

You may have to tell gmail to let you download previously downloaded mail.

Like so
