Anything to help define the cause. I do keep it set not to download
messages larger than 350 kb, which means I have to click to download
the image files in question but that has never been a problem in the
past.
You could even send messages to yourself....

I had to look, but yes it is set to leave messages on their server,
I don't usually do that but I've been testing another computer F-17,
and that must have seemed like a good idea at the time? Easy enough
to change if you think it might cause trouble but again this is all
stuff I've done in the past without running into problems.
So, to confirm, you go to the web gui and the images are OK?
FWIW, I don't use POP I use IMAP. However, some of my friends use POP and they
always keep their message on gmail as a "backup". So, I would not advise
changing
that setting and don't think it has any effect on your problem.
