156247 - POP email d/l'd twice when first auto d/l did not complete

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

I came back from a long weekend and had over 1100 emails to download.  I have
the check between auto-download set to a 10 minute interval.  The first email
download was still in progress when the second one fired (it took more than 10
minutes to download the emails).  The second email download took over and began
to re-download all of my emails, so that I had many of them twice.  From what I
can tell, it appears that the first download was simply stopped wherever it was at.

The temporary workaround was to set the interval longer to allow the initial
download to complete successfully.

Reproducible: Didn't try but I am going out of town next week, so I may get a
ferw thousand that I can try again with  :)

Actual Results:  Most of a large batch of POP emails were downloaded twice.

Expected Results:  If the email check occurs for an account while a download is
in progress, that check should not restart the download.

Reporter, are you able to reproduce this with a current build of Mozilla?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
