I want to download emails from gmail using POP3 with Outlook Express.

It downloads about 350 or so emails but doesn't download the remainder - there are over 2000 emails.

The emails downloaded are not recent.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling POP options in the settings in gmail itself but this doesn't fix the issue.

Any ideas?

Failing that I would use IMAP.

I would try to then copy it locally on my machine to the standard POP Inbox folder in Outlook Express so that Express Archiver (a separate program) can then archive each email as a file with meaningful file names (e.g. subject, sender).

I want to download email because I archive back it up with project work material it relates to, so it is all in one place.
