Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71105

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Sam Hulick]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320

According to Mozilla help:

"If any Mozilla application is running, then Quick Launch does not need to be
enabled in order to display the new message alert. For information on using
Quick Launch, see Using Quick Launch.

Once Mozilla Mail has been started, the new message alert will continue to work
even after you close the Mail window (as long as another Mozilla application is
running)."

This is not the case.  I set my "check every" to 1 minute.  I left the mail
window open, and sure enough, it checked and downloaded the message just fine. 
I sent another message to myself, but this time closed the mail window but left
my browser window open.  Nothing happened after 3 minutes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set "check every X mins" to 1 minute
2. Send self an e-mail
3. Close mail window, leave browser open
4. Wait a couple minutes
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Mail notification should've occurred, according to the Mozilla help
