RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1584861

People

(Reporter: teamar, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

After upgrade to version 68.1.0 (on Windows 10 64-bit), Thunderbird has stopped e-mails checking at startup.
The option e-mail checking at startup for my account is set in settings, of course, as it was set before upgrade.

This was also reported in bug 1577150, but it worked for the reporter on a new profile. Are you checking POP or IMAP?

POP.
In versions prior to 68.1.0 it worked well.

Which one? 68.0 worked or you're referring to 60.9? I'm a heavy POP user, I see no problem. You might just want to try a new profile. The default is to leave messages on the server for 14 days, so a new profile should affect the ability to still get the messages into the existing profile.

This sounds more like a duplicate of bug 1584861.

Maybe a duplicate, but this issue is NOT solved (even in new 68.4.1 32-bit PL version on Windows 10 64-bit PL).
Suggesting to create a new profile (as in duplicate issues) is not a solution.
Downloading new messages at startup was working till version 68.1.0 (32-bit), so in new versions of Thunderbird something went wrong...

Thunderbird 68.4.1 32-bit PL
Windows 10 64-bit PL
POP3 client
account configuration -> server configuration -> "Check emails at startup" checked
and advanced option -> server also checked

Have you looked at bug 1584861 comment #15?

Yes (just a moment ago).
Now I selected my account as the default in the Account Manager and it started to work as it should.
Maybe it was the reason.

O:)

From the beginning I assumed that the option "Check for new emails at program startup" works as simulating the F5 key pressing after program is launched. But it appears to work in other way, and it caused the problems mentioned in this and duplicated issues.
If it would be done as simulating F5 key pressing (equivalent to manual emails checking), there were not these issues...

But yes, end of ends, it started working again..

Thanks.
