Re: POP3 connector retrieves only 99 emails at once

Hi Charles,
Thanks for your answer.
I changed the limit of MessagesPerSession to 500 and this did the trick.
Now I can retrieve all the emails.
For the future, I'm planning to retrieve emails with SMTP and a MX record.
We receive between 2000 and 15000 returned spam mails a day (spammers using our DN as return adress).
The event log is full of POP3 Connector errors like 1023, 1019, 1035, 1053, 1056, 1036 and 1029.
Thanks,
Geert Geerits
