208938 - "Download/Sync Now..." always, and only, hits mail server for POP account instead of mail server for IMAP account

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[W. Scott Gibson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

I have two email accounts: one for home (POP) and one for work (IMAP).  I have
configured these on my laptop which is in the office sometimes.  When I bring my
laptop to the office I would like to sync my IMAP mail with all the changes that
have taken place since the last time I had brought it in.  The problem I am
having is that when I try to sync my IMAP folders (using
File->Offline->Download/Sync Now...) in the office Mozilla will always, and
only, attempt to hit the mail server for my POP account.  I have tried every
combination of mail server settings for both accounts to attempt to force in
some way the syncing of my IMAP mail to no avail.

I deleted my POP account from Mozilla mail and everything will work fine with
the IMAP syncing.  However, I receive the same problem once again after I
re-create my POP mail account and have both POP and IMAP mail accounts.  It
seems as if the first alphabetical mail server is being hit when I do a sync
whether it is designated as an IMAP server or not.  My home mail server is
mail.alltel.net and my IMAP mail server mail.pinnacle.com.
