Every time my POP email connects to Google to check email, my current email in the INBOX disappears. How do I prevent this? I want all my inbox messages to stay there until I delete them.

Windows 2003 / x50v

I don't think there is a way to prevent poutlook from deleting the messages in the inbox. From what I have read, you need to copy messages from the inbox to another folder. It is not possible to do this, when you are sleeping and your Axim is hooked up to your computer, syncing automatically. I've lost several e-mails previously.

My solution, I've started using qmail instead of poutlook to sync with gmail. It works great, and I'll never go back! You can even set up qmail to use poutlook for your addressbook.

There is a way to fix it, I forget now off the top of my head. But somewhere in settings for the mail server instead of telling it to download the whole message, tell it to download the first 999kbytes. I don't know why this works, but it worked for me.

Thanks - changing to 999k works very well.
