Hello, I'm having a problem with emails on my computer and phone. Even though I have the "Don't delete messages from the server" setting, my messages aren't synchronized between my phone and computer. If a message is downloaded to my phone, it doesn't appear on my computer. What should I configure to prevent this from happening?

You should use an Imap connection to the server for your phone. It sounds like your using Pop3.

If you need to use pop3 for your phone, you should look at the pop3 settings on the server. These control what happens after a client downloads a message.

Hi We use POP3 settings, what should I change and verify so that it works correctly?

Who is your email provider? Each have their own set of options!

Hi for all my accounts is one provider, we are using home.pl.

Additionally, I also use Outlook on Windows and Android and I don't have the same problem as with Thunderbird.

Thanks for confirming your provider. I wasn't able to find a specific guide for your mail provider without creating an account.

You should look for settings similar to the ones below.

  • Download and delete messages from the server immediately after retrieval
  • Download messages but leave a copy on the server
  • Download, leave on server for a defined number of days, then delete
  • Download only new/unread messages and leave already-downloaded messages untouched.
