Pro version 7.12.38.

I have gmail settings correctly done. The application does in fact fetch mail from gmail imap. The event log says it completed and without error.
However only "some" of the gmail gets into the mailwasherpro inbox. Right now in fact I have an email I received 2 days ago and it does not show up. But email from earlier does show up. I can't seem to find out what is the logic of what it fetches and what it doesn't.

I don't automatically filter. The settings are correct. It is fetching "some" mail so it isn't a connection problem. (I am very aware of the "less secure" issue with gmail).

appreciate your insights.

Yes, there are a couple of possibilities here.... please log into your gmail webmail page at www.gmail.com


1.) Click the Cog/Gear Icon, then click, Settings > Forwarding and POP > POP Download > Check Enable POP only for mail that arrives from now on.
Then scroll down and click Save Changes.


2.) At the same location on the gmail webmail page, enable IMAP, then in MWPro, click, Settings>>Accounts, click your Gmail account, click the Incoming tab, and beside "Server Type:" select IMAP in place of POP.
Click save to save changes.

Then, MW will only show new unread emails by default, not ALL of them....

Note also, when using IMAP, click Advanced under the Incoming tab, and you can choose how many days worth of emails you want MW to show, AND if you want it to show unread emails.
