About POP3 Refresh for Gmail
POP3 Refresh for Gmail is a one-click solution to refresh your external POP3 accounts in Gmail right from your phone! You can even automate it to refresh your accounts at an interval defined by you (e.g. every 10 minutes).
Having Gmail pull emails from existing POP3 accounts is a nice feature. However, emails are usually fetched only once every hour. In addition, the mobile Gmail interfaces gives you no way of manually refreshing your accounts. So if you're expecting an important email on one of your external accounts, you'll have to wait - in the worst case - more than an hour before you'll receive that email on your phone. This is where this app comes in. Simply hit "Refresh Now" from the main menu (or from the provided widget) to automatically refresh your external accounts in the background! Each full refresh only takes about 5 seconds on WiFi and slightly longer on 3G.
Note: You can of course exit the app (using the "BACK"-key) once you've started a refresh - it will complete the refresh in the background.
Please note that each refresh uses about 200KB of data - make sure that you have an appropriate data plan before activing the "auto-refresh" feature!

Entered my info and selected 2-step authentication. The animation just spins like it is checking but nothing ever happens.

Even though it's said that there is a 2-step verification support, it just doesn't work.

Doesn't work on my Nexus 6. As others have said it just spins and spins but never actually does anything.

Just what I needed. Works well and has all the customisable options needed ie refresh period, refresh only on WiFi etc. Good work!

It looks like it's doing something but actually doesn't. Better off opening your gmail in web, loading desktop view and hitting the refresh button there - works every time AND it's free.

This app randomly refreshes while on mobile data even though the option is disabled. Costing me a small fortune

Responsive developer. Get the tasker plug too if you use tasker.

I have been unable to use this due to login error I just can't avoid. This may be because I am using 2 step verification (entered app specific password) . Late update: This problem (two-step verification) has been patched up and is working very nicely now. I got a response in matter of hours when I contacted to the developer (whom offered a few solutions and refund directly). So I can safely say, do not hesitate to try this out. It works very nicely (although heavy data usage as warned). Therefore, brings what it claims very nicely!

Out of the 50 times I have tried to use this program it has worked only about 3 times. Very unreliable, don't waste your money.

The popup message on the screen for every refresh is useless. Please add an option to deactivate that or disable our completely. I doubt anybody needs that.

Setup my account, press refresh, and the wheel spins forever with no results. Developer, is there something I missed?

Great app that works well, it could use an option to refresh in the background with no alert as the status message pauses playing YouTube videos on my galaxy tab 2

When press refresh button, just keeps spinning like it's frozen for several minutes. Finally have to kill it in Task Manager. Have re-installed, but doesn't fix problem. Alan Scharf

I have been searching for an app like this for a long time! I have multiple email addresses that I use through Gmail. The "Refresh POP accounts" labworks great inside Gmail in a browser, but there was nothing similar for Andriod, until now!
