186598 - "Get All New Messages" does not check new accounts

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58301

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Patrick Lathem]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

If I setup a new POP account (one or more already exists) to have checked,
return to the mail windowm and then press Ctrl+Shift+T or "Get All New Messages"
the new account will not be checked. Mozilla Mail should pop up a window
requesting the password, and then proceed to check the new account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a mail account. 
2. Check the mail account (I always personally save the password)
3. Set up a new mail account. 
4. Highlight the first mail account. 
5. Press Ctrl+Shift+T or choose "Get All New Messages".
6. Notice there is no prompt for the password for the new account (it's not
checked).

Please note I only have POP3 mail accounts, I cannot test this with IMAP. 

Actual Results:  
The first account was checked, the second was not. 

Expected Results:  
Check first account, prompt for the password for the second, and then check the
second account.

This has always happened to me with Mozilla Mail, I just have never gotten
around to reporting it, my apologies.. I believe since pre-1.0 Mozilla Mail. Do
other users not experience this? I searched for this bug...

"Get All New Messages" does not apply to accounts where Mozilla is not storing
the password.
