When I am away from my desktop I access my Email using a Nexus 7 tablet. The tablets mail account settings are to "leave messages on server". Thunderbird will not receive any messages accessed by my tablet (or Notebook Computer) that were left on the server. Using Outlook Express on my desktop PC I am able to retrieve these messages that Thunderbird fails to receive.

Need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
