(I see no component that fits this request, so I choose one by guessing...)

I see this behaviour with my POP account.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Messenger, with both options enabled
2. "Compact Folders" starts, and last for some time if there is much to compact
3. "Automatically ..." starts, and "aborts" if "C.F." is still running

Actual Results:  
A dialog is displayed to inform that the Check and Download will have to be
restarted later.


Expected Results:  
Could the Check and Download wait, and start after the Compact has ended only !?


Workaround:
*As it is indicated by the dialog, simply wait for Compact to end, then manually
"Get New Messages" !

closest bug i can find is bug 101584 which deals
with the mesg itself rather than the action.

"Res. Dup." agreed:
I did not found bug 188728 because it is written "compact folder" without a "s" :-(


In my initial description, at the beginning of step 2, I think that I answer
"Yes" to a dialog to start compacting.
