This may be a duplicate of bug 24594, but since that is not quite clear to me I
file it as a new bug:

If my network connection (ISDN) has been disconnected when mozilla checks for
new mails, 
mozilla refuses to check for new mails even after the network connection is
re-established.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla (checking for new mails every 15 minutes)
2. Wait for network connection to close (automatically after 10 minutes)
3. Reconnect to the network.
4. Try "Get Msgs" in the mail client. Nothing happens (normally there is a
status message saying "connection to <mail server>")
5. Close and restart Mozilla. "Get Msgs" works ok.

Actual Results:  
Nothing until step 5.

Expected Results:  
Resumed mail checking when the network is re-established.

WFM 1.4rc1 and rc2. This problem has been fixed for all platforms a few weeks 
ago. Please try new version and mark WFM.
