W wl Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 23, 2015 #1 Hi, I'm not sure my question really belongs in this forum, but I'm just going to have a try. I wrote a POP3 server in B4A and it works great (a long as it runs on a port >= 1024). As it serves local data (it might already received pushed data before network connection was lost) it should be able to work without any network connection. Unfortunately the Android POP3 client app (on my Galaxy S4) refuses to do anything wihout a network connection ? Is there anything I can do about this ? Thanks

S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 24, 2015 #4 what do you mean with "not doing anything"? the app should open with the mails it already retrieved. Upvote 0
W wl Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 24, 2015 #5 hi, Yes: the mail apps shows the mails already downloaded but it can not download the messages from my local POP3 server (which should be perfectly possible because the POP3 server is running on the Android device itself). Upvote 0

S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 24, 2015 #6 what do you enter as server info? 127.0.0.1 should work I guess. Upvote 0
W wl Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 24, 2015 #7 Yes, 127.0.0.1 or localhost. It works using the K9 email reader: it is just that the default Android apps (mail, browser) refuse to work without a network connection. Which is normal in 99% of the cases, but just not in my case ... Upvote 0

S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Feb 24, 2015 #8 if it works in K9 or K@ then the problem is not in your server part I guess. can you connect to it with a self written pop3 app? Upvote 0
