Hi,

Is this a Gmail account that you are using for other purposes? If so, I strongly recommend a separate account. This is not why you are having a problem, but if working properly, be aware that NowSMS deletes all messages from the inbox.

As for the problem, are you using POP3 or IMAP? I'm guessing POP3, because with many servers, delete commands are not synchronized.

I'd recommend using IMAP...and a dedicated email account. IMAP is also better as with most servers, NowSMS doesn't have to poll...it uses the IDLE command so the server pushes new mail as it arrives.

if the problem persists, enable the MMSCDEBUG.LOG (checkbox on Serial # page)...I'd like to take a look at that log, as it will show the email transactions.


You can either post the log here, or send it via email to nowsms@nowsms.com with Attention: Des on the subject line. If you do send via email, please also post a reply here so that I know to look for the email.
