Success!

But the strange thing is that I had turned this on yesterday and it
made no difference, so I turned it back off. But after turning it back
on this morning suddenly I am able to download all the e-mails. And I
swear that when I turned it on yesterday the web page flashed "updated"
and the "Turn on" radio button was properly checked, so I don't know why
it had no effect yesterday. Oh well. 

Thanks to everyone for the help!
