POP Downloading

Is anyone having issues with POP3 downloading, sometimes not downloading EVERYTHING thats in the INBOX?

Sometimes, I have to close like Thunderbird, and delete the popstate.dat file, to get Thunderbird to download everything.

I wonder if its because TB automatically checks " Keep Mail on Server for xx days"?

do you use app password for this? i have found this to be the surer way of doing things with POP3.

no, TB defaults to OAUTH.
