email is loading onto my smartphone and tablet, but i've recieved no email on my laptop in five days.
When I open Thunderbird, it tells me it's in contact with Comcast, but no mail is downloaded - to my laptop: no problem with phone or tablet.
Solução escolhida
turn off the phone and see if mail appears.
M guess is the phone is set to pop and also set to remove mail from the server on download.

Genius, Matt!! Thank you SO much. This has not been a problem for the two years I've had the phone, so I must have inadvertently changed a setting when fiddling with the phone to fix something else? I can't tell you what an irritant this has been and how grateful I am to have it corrected.
