Email not downloading (thunderbird + kmail)

Hi Everyone,

I recently installed Thunderbird 2, however I am having some issues downloading emails. I can send mail without any issues, but when I try to download, it does not give me an error the status bar just says "there are no new messages on the server". ---but the emails are there

I am using gmail.
pop.gmail.com > port 995 > SSL
smtp.gmail.com > port 587

Any suggestions?

Have you activated the POP option in Gmail (on the site, not on your machine!)?
Configure Gmail

Then you should use TSL from the documentation I saw.
Configure Thunderbird

pop was enabled and i was using TLS.

Gmail has two options of downloading pop mail, it worked with the one that downloads all of the messeges, not just ones arriving from today.

Thank you for the reply
