not getting pop3 email on android

Hi,

I have a HTC one, I am using stock email app to setup my company's email, gmail hosts our company email.  If I use IMAP, I can get all the email fine.  But if I use pop, if outlooks gets it first, my phone wont, vice versa.  Any ideas?


thx

If you use POP3 on Outlook, and (you must) use IMAP on the smart phone, then you need to go to Outlook settings, Advanced Settings and check (select) the setting that says "Leave Mail on the Server".  Once you do that, mail will stay on the server and you can then get email on the smart phone.

This works. I use this method myself with my iPhone.

You need to go to IMAP regularly and remove mail you do not want. When you do that, the mail will be in Outlook (does not disappear) but the mail will go away from your smart phone (no longer on server).

We are required to check "Leave Mail on the Server" in Outlook.  It just does not make sense that with pop3, the email email does not get delivered to the phone.  thx
