Other Issues

Here are some common issues with our POP service that are not client-specific.

How do I download mail to multiple POP clients?

To access your messages with multiple POP clients, use recent mode in every client to make sure that all messages are made available, rather than only to the first client to access new mail. Recent mode fetches the last 30 days of mail, regardless of whether it's been sent to another POP client already.

To enable Recent mode, replace ' username@stis.net ' in the Username field of your POP client settings with 'recent:username@stis.net' and ensure that the Leave messages on server option in your POP client is enabled.

Why can't I download messages I send from my POP client?

In order to avoid duplicates, Webmail doesn't download copies of messages sent from within your client. However, these messages will appear in the inbox of your Supra Webmail account.

Why don't my POP settings stay saved?

After you enable POP access in your Webmail account, you can verify the status in the Forwarding and POP tab, by clicking Settings at the top of any Webmail page.

Although the radio button next to your selected option doesn't stay selected, the status is displayed next to POP Status:. When POP is enabled, your account displays POP Status: POP is enabled.

Why am I locked out of my Supra Webmail account after enabling POP?

To ensure that you aren't locked out of your Webmail account while your messages are downloading to your email client, adjust your client's settings so it won't check for new messages too frequently. If you're locked out of your account, please wait one hour and then try logging in to Webmail again.
