Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 689067

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[TREMBLAY,Bernard]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Let TB do his job at starting

Actual results:

Mail accounts that have been "disconnected" (using 1- "get new message at starting" unchecked 2- "check for new messages each x minutes" unchecked - no duration given) are nevertheless checked. Then some of these accounts (for which connection parameters are not available) generate the message (translated from French) "connection impossible to account" or "invalid password".

Expected results:

The account should not be checked.
Note: previously in the advanced parameter there was a checkbox (translated from French) "inactivate server for this account" it no more exists, then the alone way known that can be used to inactivate the checking of an account seems the process related above which doesn't function.
Such messages can be repeated several times because the time to check and send messages for other accounts can be longer than the "default" duration (no duration given) between two checks. Then the error is repeated regularly for a very long time (I had to acknowledge -click cancel or ok) for two days (thousands of times) because I was updating a computer that had been stopped for several weeks). This problem cumulates with the related 1780786.
Note that during such operations it is impossible to access to the TB interface (I had to use "cancel task" several times)
What is to solution to "set accounts sleepy"?
The request and more repeated is a defect
