Description

[William Anderle]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030903 Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030903 Firebird/0.6.1+

I setup Thunderbird 0.2 Final to check for new messages into my newsgroup
account every 10 minutes. Nothing special to say, simply doesn't work.
A friend reported this to me too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools->Account Settings->Select News Account
2. Go to server settings, and check "Check for news messages every 10 minutes"
3. Wait ;)

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens, the number of messages into subscribed newsgroups isn't updated
until I manually click on them.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have updated the number of messages after 10 minutes, or the
number of minutes selected.

WFM since a long time. This bug seems to be forgotten.
