1874095 - Accounts with disabled "Check for new messages every x minutes" without password saved are being checked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1874109

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[ryan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/106.0.0.0

Steps to reproduce:

Version 115.6.1

Usually accounts that I disable checking that haven't been logged into or have a saved password, repeatedly try to check for email, prompting for login credentials

Actual results:

Constant popups, prompting for password. Multiple of the same, overlapping. "Check for messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every x minutes" should be obeyed as per previous functionality

Expected results:

Accounts with "Check for messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every x minutes" unchecked should not check for email

Version 115.6.1

What version did you use before that didn't have this problem?

Hi there. I don't recall which version I had before. I usually keep TB up to date. Probably 115.x

I'm not sure if there's a clue here, but Under Mail and News Accounts section in the troubleshooting Information screen, 24 accounts are listed but in account settings tab there are 18 accounts

I think I found the culprit. Send Later add-on (https://github.com/Extended-Thunder/send-later) has it's own account checking. I disabled the accounts within Send Later and the problem went away!

Appologies for any inconvenience caused!
