Write your message below:

We are experiencing a POP3 email fetching issue. Hesk doesn't download emails automatically, but when I run "inc/mail/hesk_pop3.php" through browser, the emails are downloaded. We are using Windows Server.

Hope you can help. Thanks.

As per POP3 fetching instructions:
7. To automatically convert emails to tickets you will need to setup a CRON job (scheduled task) to run the hesk_pop3.php script for example every 5 minutes. Most hosting companies support CRON jobs, please check your hosting control panel or contact your host.
On Windows, you will need to set up a scheduled task to run the hesk_pop3.php every 5 minutes or so. Or, if the server is publicly accessible, utilize a third party cron service to run the script.
