Subject: How to download already downloaded emails again?  

Hi,   I have installed Popcon It has read 125 messages and forwarded them.  I had the forwarding
email setup wrong - I am leaving messages on server for now - I want to
redownload and resent to the correct email address 
How do I do this?

A:

Hi,

you can do it like this:

  1. Stop the POPcon service (control panel, services)
  2. Delete the files c:\program files\POPcon\msguids.tmp, \msguids2.bak, \msgids.tmp and \msgids2.bak. These files is were POPcon stores the message IDs of the messages it has already downloaded.
  3. Restart the POPcon service.
  4. during the next cycle POPcon will download and distribute the emails again.

Please note that this will only work when you configured POPcon to leave messages on your POP3 server, at least for a fixed number of days.
