After upgrading from 3.0.5 to 3.1 I have to shut down and restart thunderbird in order to be able to get emails. Account settings:
pop3
connection security SSL/TLS
port 995
auth method normal password
check for new messages at startup
check for new messages every 1 minutes
automatically download new messages


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start thunderbird and download new messages
2. send a new message to myself
3. try to download the new message: nothing happens (while, checking with webmail, the message is there, ready to be downloaded)
4. shutdown and restart thunderbird: the message is downloaded succesfully
Actual Results:  
New messages are not downloaded

Expected Results:  
New messages get downloaded

I've tried with -safe-mode without success.
I'll attach a log obtained with NSPR_LOG_MODULES=pop3:5

Can you check with both settings disabled? (no need of log)
1. Restart Tb, 2. Send mail to you, 3. GetMsgs, 4. Send mail to you, 5. GetMsgs.
(time between step 3 and step 5 : check with 5 minutes or longer, please.)

Does your POP3 server support connection without SSL/TLS(port 110 usually)? If yes, can you check with Connection Security: None?

Comment 3

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

Cnfirming per POP3 log.

> Can you check with both settings disabled? (no need of log)

I've done the following:

disabled settings
restarted thunderbird
sent mail
getMsg -> thunderbird asks for passwd, connects and download msg
sent mail
wain 20 minutes
sent mail
gemMsg -> thunderbird says "no messages to download"


> Does your POP3 server support connection without SSL/TLS(port 110 usually)? 

No.
I've also re-created the thunderbird account, without noticing any improvement

> If yes, can you check with Connection Security: None?

If you need it I can try with a different account that I usually read only using webmail. But,
as I've neved used pop3 with them, I will not be able to confirm a regression from thunderbird 3.0.

Do you disable "Save Password" for the POP3 user?

> sent mail, wait 20 minutes, sent mail
> gemMsg -> thunderbird says "no messages to download"

"No messages to download" is usually shown after successful login and successful LIST/UIDL command. (as DELE is issued, you disable "Leave Messages on server").

Can you get POP3 log with timestamp for above two manual Get Msgs opertions?

No need to check with other account. It's to see difference of behaviour of the POP3 server between SSL/TLS and None.

No completely sure to understand what you mean here
because I do not see any option
for storing passwd in the pop3 account setting window.
But I can confirm that I do not use a master password
(preferences->security->passwords), and that I usually
re-type my passwd each and every time I start thunderbird.
But I've never had to retype it again, after the first time, 
with a running thunderbird.

I've checked the config, filtering for "pass".
Everything is default, only pref.privacy.disable_button.view_passwords 
is user_set to false.
I've tried to reset it, restarted thunderbird. I'm still
not being asked for passwd on the second get mail, and I'm still not able
to get the mail the second time. Re-checking the config I see that
pref.privacy.disable_button.view_passwords is again  user set to false.
Don't know what this means, or if this can be of any help.

Yes, i never leave messages on server.

I talked about checkbox of "Save password or not" at password prompt dialog.
Does your problem occur even if password is saved at password dialog?

Found it, sorry. First, I created a brand new profile. 
There is a save passwd when the initial account is set.
Then, with this new profile, the passwd prompt has the checkbox. Unfortunately,
even checking it (so that restating thunderbird I do not have to re-type the passwd) 
the problem remains: the first download works, subsequent ones no.

One additional information. My email is [e-mail], while my username on the pop3 server (mail.aero.polimi.it) is morandin . I don't think this could make any difference, but who knows.

It's not problem. Password manager uses hostname+userName in prefs.js as key of Password Manager's DB. POP3 uses realhostname(if non-existent, use hostname) and realuserName(if non-existent, user userName) for login.
I recently changed mail-address(and UserID too) of a POP3 account. So next happened, but no problem occurrs.
  hostname=realhostname=pop3.x.y.z
  userName=abc@x.y.z, realuserName=def@x.y.z
  Password Manager entry is still pop3.x.y.z + abc@x.y.z.

I simply tried to rule out phenomenon by next issue.
  Once login failed with wrong password and Tb remebers wrong password,
  login with new/correct password is imposible until restart of Tb,
  if POP3 server violates RFC(kill connection after a login error).
Such issue has been found irrelevant to your problem.

Even connection to POP3 server is not executed(POP3 log say so), was "no messages to download" shown at status bar upon second Get Mails?

I'm going to look with our sysadm to the pop3 logs 
(I think it's a courier mail server, debian). Let me know if
you think we can find some useful info there and/or if you
know what we should look for.

> Can you get DNS lookup log/Socket log too?

Attached. Obtained with my default profile:

-start thunderbird
-send mail
-get mail (->passwd prompt, ok, mail received)
-immediately send mail
-wait approx 5 minutes and send a third mail
-get mail (->no messages to donwload)
-quit thunderbird

Comment 16

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

From Tb's view, it looks "no greeting from server within a reasonable time, or connection loss upon second Get Mails". However, something funny after first QUIT is seen, and, after error upon the second Get Mails, Tb3.1 issues "no messages to download" even though login to server is not done when second Get Mails. It indicates that something wrong exists in Tb 3.1.

(1) Can you check Tb3.1 behaviour with next? (no log is neede, if it works)
    Work Offline then Work Online, before second Get Msgs. (It should work...) 
(2) Can you check server side log?
    Is Tb3.1's behaviour upon second Get Mails correct?
(3) Can you compare log(pop3/socket/host resolver) of Tb 3.1(fails) with log of Tb 3.0.x(no error)?
Socket log is merely log for send/receive at socket level, so it's hard to know what data is sent/received. But it's useful to guess Tb's behaviour if POP3 log is obtained at same time, and is useful to know when Tb detects error.
Comparison of "logs after first QUIT" and "logs around second Get Mails" may provide valuable data for problem analysis.

Attachment: pop3 & thunderbird logs

Some help/info from our sysadm.

1) our standard access point is a pop3/imap proxy: perdition, from debian lenny. 

2) the error on the server side, corresponding to the attached thunderbird log, is only.
I have nothing more.

Jul  5 16:00:40 spmsrv perdition[30082]: Connect:
131.175.154.10->xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Jul  5 16:00:40 spmsrv perdition[30082]: Fatal error establishing SSL
connection to client

3) if my sysadm relaxes the firewall rules and allows me to bypass the proxy and to access
    directly the real mail server then everything works.

At this point I don't know where the bug is: perdition or thunderbird. It's however clear that there is a bug somewhere. I still think that thunderbird should be able to re-authenticate itself.

Hope this helps.

Obtained using the pop3 proxy, i.e. the same settings that fail with thunderbird 3.1.
I've not waited 5 minutes between the subsequent gets.

Quick comparison of Tb 3.0.5 and Tb 3.1.
(Problem-1) SSL negotiation looks to always fail upon second Get Mails
            in your environment, due to ErrorAccordingToNSPR.
            Example of ErrorAccordingToNSPR:
               Retry count of TCP retransmission exceeded limit.
               No Ack for packets can produce this kind of error.
            Due to proxy?
            SSL clean up error after previous QUIT?
(Problem-2) Tb 3.1 doesn't retry when Problem-1 happens.
(Problem-3) Tb 3.1 wrongly considers the error as "no new mail at POP3 server".

(1) Following error occurs upon second Get Mails.
    (log by Tb 3.1. same log by Tb 3.0. poling log is omitted)

(For Problem-1)
ErrorAccordingToNSPR look for me being produced by existence of your proxy, as it occurs always upon next connection request after previous QUIT.
(For Problem-2)
I don't know retry should be executed or shouldn't be executed in this bug's case. I guess infinite retry loop can happen if retry is executed.

1.17.1

btw, crawling bugzilla for the changes from 1.3 to 1.31 I've noticed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525238 where the auth code was changed (hope this is not noise)

Does problem depend on POP3 server? Problem occurs with any POP3S server?
Can you check with Gmail's POP3 server using perdition 1.17.1 and Tb 3.1?

Can you test with newer perdition 1.18 shipped on 27th November 2009 shortly?

Even after Offline/Online(socket is re-initialized by Tb. same behavior as Tb 3.0.5 after error), ErrorAccordingToNSPR happens.
It indicates next;
 - garbage at proxy remains after QUIT
 - upon error of ErrorAccordingToNSPR, garbage is cleared
 - after it, if socket is re-initialized by Tb(Tb 3.0.5 does do it),
   proxy can handle SSL request normally, as first request after restart of Tb.
Can you check next? (no log is needed, even if error occurs)
 1. Resart Tb
 2. Send mail, first Get Mails => OK, QUIT
 3. Send mail
 4. Work Offline, Work Online, second Get Mails=>ErrorAccordingToNSPR=>fails
 5. Work Offline, Work Online, third Get Mails => ???

as noted on comment #18, point 3), if I access directly the real pop3s server, bypassing the proxy,
then everything works.

I'm building right now perdition 1.17.1 and 1.18 on my pc (no hope to test using our real mail proxy), will let you know if I succeed installing them and setting them up.

How about next? (Emulation of Tb 3.0's behaviour)
1. Restart Tb, first Get Mails, LIST/UIDL/QUIT => garbage probably remains.
2. Second Get Mails, tries to connect using SAME sockect as step 1 => Error
3. Emulation of re-drive of connection process of Tb 3.0.x. 
   Work Offline, Work Online, third Get Mails => ???

I've asked for help on the perdition mailing list:
http://lists.vergenet.net/pipermail/perdition-users/2010-July/002329.html
Still no success for me in intalling perdition, but
a second user has the same problem, and was able to verify that it occurs
even with the latest perdition versions, 1.18.
See http://lists.vergenet.net/pipermail/perdition-users/2010-July/002336.html
for details and perdition logs.

Attachment: patch for perdition to set session_id

I believe that the following patch resolves things on the perdition side of things
and I'm not entirely sure that there is anything to be done on the Thunderbird side,
though thats not my call.

At this stage I am intending to include this patch in perdition 1.19-rc3.
Testing and review would be gratefully received.
