Regressed by bug 831993.
This also affects Thunderbird in the same way.

I could almost fix this myself but I am not sure what type of array needs to be passed from Javascript to the new function. Neil changed the C++ function to take an array of nsIPop3IncommingServers, which is unfamiliar to me (it is not nsIArray or similar).

The message for TB is:
[Exception... "Not enough arguments [nsIPop3IncomingServer.downloadMailFromServers]"  nsresult: "0x80570001 (NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/conte
nt/mailWindowOverlay.js :: MsgGetMessagesForAllServers :: line 1433"  data: no]

There are 2 spots where this function is used in TB.

The files where this needs to be fixed are separate for TB and SM but I think we can fix it together in this one bug.

Attachment: Possible patch

I modernised the Thunderbird code to bring it more into line with SeaMonkey and incidentally remove another nsISupportsArray.

The interesting bit is in the very last patch hunk, the rest is just nsISupportsArray removal noise.

i guess we can drop the |if (inboxFolder)| above.
or else we're just pushing null
