I want to download emails from Gmail using POP3 with Outlook Express but it only downloads the first 350 and leaves the rest. There are over 2000 still there. How can I reset Outlook in a way to have it download all the emails and not just a bunch?
The emails downloaded are not recent. I've tried disabling and re-enabling POP options in the settings in Gmail itself but this doesn't fix the issue.
Failing that I would use IMAP.
I would try to then copy it locally on my machine to the standard POP Inbox folder in Outlook Express so that Express Archiver (a separate program) can then archive each email as a file with meaningful file names (e.g. subject, sender).
I want to download my emails because I archive and back it up with project work material it relates to, so it is all in one place.

Have you checked the settings in Gmail. Click Settings at the top >> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Try enabling POP for all mail.
You might need to delete what you already downloaded.
