Cannot manually check the POP link

[Gmailuser]

Hi,

I have successfully set up a POP link to my existing Gmail account.

However, when I set the check interval to manual, after that where is the button to check the POP manually? I cannot see it on the More actions... drop down menu.

You should see the name of the account (Gmail). That's the manually POP check.

What has this got to do with Fastmail.?

I believe the OP is fetching email from his Gmail account within Fastmail.

But exactly how can I manually check the POP??? POP is working, but i want to copy 27 000 messages from my existing Gmail account into Fastmail, and checking POP only every hour is too slow.

But there is absolutely no button where I can check the POP manually. Could you please send me a screenshot?

I would like to copy my old gmail emials into Fastmail using POP.

The name of the account should show up in the More Actions dropdown. If it's still not there, you may need to file a support ticket.

Note that with some tweaking you can also add a custom button for popping your accounts, which I personally find much easier than using the dropdown -- not just for popping but for other functions.

See this link for more information: http://fastmail.wikia.com/wiki/NewInterfaceJS

Here's the code that I use to add several different buttons:

var customMailboxButtons = [['POP','Pop:0'],['Purge','ImapPurge'],['Unread','MarkUnsn'],['Mark Read','MarkSeen'],['No Flag','MarkUnfg'],['Flag','MarkFlag']];

//Custom mailbox buttons
var globalSelect;
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
    if($('mailbox') || $('message')) {
        globalSelect = ($$('select[name=FMB-ACT]')[0])?$$('select[name=FMB-ACT]')[0]:$$('select[name=FMR-SAT]')[0];
        twkAddMailboxButtons(customMailboxButtons);
    }
});

function twkAddMailboxButtons(arr)
{
    if(arr.length>6){alert("You have too many custom buttons defined.\nPlease use no more than 6.");return;}
    arr.each(function(button) {
        var optionIndex = twkGetOptionIndex(button[1]);
        if(optionIndex == false) {return;};
        var twkCustomButton = new Element('button', {'type':'button','text':button[0],'value':button[1],'name':optionIndex});
        twkCustomButton.style.padding="3px";twkCustomButton.style.paddingTop="2px";
        twkCustomButton.addEvent('click', function(event) {
            globalSelect.selectedIndex = this.name;
            globalSelect.fireEvent('change');
        });
        twkCustomButton.injectAfter($$(".actionSpam")[0]);
    });
}

function twkGetOptionIndex(value)
{
    var actOptions = globalSelect.getElements('option');
    for(var i = 0; i < actOptions.length; i++)
    {
        if(actOptions[i].value == value)
        return i;
    }
    return false;
}

window.addEvent('domready', function () {
    if($('FMC-MessageBodyHTMLEditor___Frame')) {
        $('FMC-MessageBodyHTMLEditor___Frame').src=$('FMC-MessageBodyHTMLEditor___Frame').src.replace("Email","Default");
    }
});

Why is POP so slow? It will take 12 days at this speed until I migrate all the 27 000 emails (1.3 GB total). how to speed up the process?

I migrating from Google Apps to Fastmail.

Use another tool, like Mailstore or Yippiemove.
