How can I download my Gmail messages on both platform’s MUAs successively ?Īlso note that this used to work well for the Gmail POP3 MTA, with the same configuration of platforms and email apps (MUA). I have checked my Android / K-9 and my Linux / Thunderbird 102.8 settings and there is nothing apparent there to cause this behavior. Downloading first on a platform email client does not prevent the second email client on the other platform to also be able to download the same email message. Note that POP3-downloading from an MTA different from Google works as I want it to. But if I use one platform (smartphone or desktop) to download Gmail message, then those message become immediately unavailable for the other platform MUA, even though all downloaded messages are left on the Gmail POP3 server (and show there as read). I also use a Linux / Thunderbird 102.8 MUA to do the same from a desktop computer. I work with K-9 v6.400 on Android 8.1 to download my email from my Google POP3 and other POP3 servers on my smartphone.
