Hi, my ipad3 keeps downloading old emails as unread, even though I have previously deleted them directly from my googlemail account on the home computer. I have been deleting them one by one, about 60 of them download each time, but this is very time consuming especially as there are over 13,000 emails still waiting to download! TThis morning when I went to open my emails in Hotmail, it wouldn't download any new emails. Emails from April 7th and prior are there but current emails from after are not there. They were there as of last night but gone this morning. Also, when I check my email on my laptop in Hotmail, all the emails are up-to-date and are continuing to update. Jun 17, 2016 I want to download all of my email from my Hotmail account (aka mail.live.com) so that I can auto archive my old email. I have installed Outlook 2016 from my Office 365 Home subscription onto my Windows 10 machine, and it auto configured itself and started downloading email.

- How To Download All Your Hotmail Emails Not Downloading
I've an old email account (pop3) with lots of emails that I want to download. I don't care what client - but I'm currently trying with Thunderbird. It says that there are no new emails on the server. However, if I telnet to port 110 and do a 'list' command, there's thousands of emails on the server. Why isn't Thunderbird (or any other client I try) downloading these? And is there any way I can get it to do so?

They are most likely marked as 'Read' already on the email server. Go to the email server and attempt to mark all of the emails as Unread. This will then allow the client to download them.
The client doesn't want to download emails you have already seen/read.
DavidDavidThunderbird has already downloaded the messages once, and saved their UIDs so that it doesn't download them a second time. To download them a second time with Thunderbird, you need to delete Thunderbird's saved UID database for that POP account.
There are, of course, tools that will download from POP accounts aside from Thunderbird. Since they won't know about Thunderbird's UID database, they, too, will download the messages afresh. getmail, for example, can download a POP mailbox into a local maildir.
