238751 - Check all IMAP folders for new mail on startup on the Windows OS

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 186894

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Richard GABRIEL]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

I use an IMAP account with server-side mail filtering. 
When I start Mail, it only checks Inbox for new messages. After I manually press
Get Msgs (or Ctrl+T), the other folders (which have the "Check this folder for
new messages" option turned on) are also checked.
I tested it also on Linux - the Linux version checks all folders (that ones that
have to be checked) directly on startup. 
Strange...
P.S. I noticed this behaviour in all Mozilla version I ever had - i.e. all final
 versions since 0.9.8 and also some alpha's and beta's.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe an IMAP account.
2. Set some folders (other than Inbox) to "Check for new messages".
3. Quit Mozilla completely (also the QuickLaunch).
4. In another IMAP client, mark some messages in Inbox and other folders as unread. 
Alternatively, if you use server-side filtering, you can send yourself some
messages from anywhere etc.
5. Start Mozilla Mail. 

Actual Results:  
Only Inbox is checked for new messages.

Expected Results:  
Check all folders (which have the "Check this folder for new messages option
turned on") for new messages.
