Some mails are not collected by Thunderbird

Hi,

I am facing a very strange behavior with Thunderbird (v 24.3.0) . I am in POP3. I have configured all my mails readers (actually my PC and my Android Smartphone) to leave the messages on the server.

My Smartphone is configured to remove the mail from the server when I delete it on the phone.

When I retrieve the mails on my computer, using Thunderbird, I get most of the mails, but not all of them. The missing ones are not arriving in a junk folder, this looks like they are simply not collected from the server. How is this possible ?

I can see the mails are still on the server, but they are not grabbed by Thunderbird ... even if I forced them unread on the server.

This is really a problem as my computer is the golden depository for my mails so if some are missing this is definitely bad :-(

Have any of you already faced this issue ? How could I debug this ?

thanks in advanced for your help.

my first suggestion would be turn off the phone and see if the issue continues.
