Hello,

I have google workspace account configured on 3 different devices in Thunderbird as POP3. When I send email to that account, only the first device (which first check for new messages and download it ) gets it. On all 3 mail clients are checked "Leave message on server" and "Until I delete them". All the emails can be seen in webmail, but in thunderbird they are scattered around all 3 devices. I have other, private POP3 mail on that devices and I don't have such problem.

Any advice, please.

Google only offers an email once to a pop client is my understanding of the issue.
