Amazing!

I just added added what you have suggested (:predicate "1:*") to the
imap account I have; it fetched more than thousand emails, including
those sent today. So, it is working now for imap. However, how can I do
it for pop? The strange thing is that it was working until just weeks or
months ago; what happened!!

Just for your information, I will re-share my mail source settings:

```

		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> fcih.net"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl
                          :leave non-nil)
		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> aucegypt.edu"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl
                          :leave non-nil)
		                 (pop :server "pop.gmail.com"
			                    :user "wyousef <at> gwmail.gwu.edu"
			                    :port 995
			                    :stream ssl
                          :leave non-nil)
		                 (imap :server "mail.uvic.ca"
		       	               :user "wyousef <at> uvic.ca"
		       	               :port 993
                           :predicate "1:*"
		      	               :stream ssl
                           :mailbox ("inbox" "sent items")
                           :fetchflag "\\Seen"
			                     )
```
